It is a cold, wet winter morning. The road you are on looks wet but not icy. Ahead is a bridge over a river. What should you expect?
A approaches a two-lane bridge over a river on a cold wet morning. The current road and deck are unmarked as icy, and a card states that the road looks wet; no safe-speed or stopping position is selected.
Correct answer: The bridge may be icy even though the road is not, because bridges tend to freeze first.
Why
Slow down before you reach the bridge, not on it, and brake and steer gently. The manual also says to avoid cruise control on snow or ice and to leave extra space to the vehicle ahead. Shady areas and roads with little traffic can also keep ice after other roads are clear.
