Passing target: 80% (52/65)
The air temperature is 34°F, and the highway is wet but not yet icy. Where are you most likely to find ice first?
Two equally styled cross-sections compare a ground-supported road and an elevated bridge deck. Both have the same unmarked wet surface; the card repeats the given air temperature.
Correct answer: On bridges and overpasses, because they freeze before the rest of the road
Why
Near the freezing point, a road can change from wet to icy in a short distance. Slow down before you reach a bridge or an overpass, and do not brake hard or make sharp turns on it. Watch also for ice in shady spots and on pavement when rain starts to fall on a cold day.
