Which surface does the Maine handbook specifically warn tends to freeze before nearby ground-level roads?
Correct answer: A bridge or overpass
Why
Bridges and overpasses can hide icy spots on cold, wet days. The handbook warns that they tend to freeze first and dry out last. Reduce speed before the surface change and keep steering and braking smooth rather than testing grip with an abrupt maneuver.
