On a winter morning, the air temperature is near freezing. The highway looks wet but not icy. Ahead, the road crosses a bridge and then goes through a shaded canyon. What should you expect?
A approaches a bridge over a river on a wet-looking two-lane highway. Beyond the bridge, rocky canyon walls shade the roadway. A card states that it is near freezing; no ice patches or answer highlights appear.
Correct answer: The bridge and the shaded section can be icy, because those places freeze first.
Why
Ice often forms in patches that are hard to see. Before you drive onto a bridge, an overpass or a shaded curve in cold weather, slow down, and avoid sudden braking or steering while you are on it. Temperatures near freezing are the most dangerous, because the surface can change from wet to icy within a short distance.
