Can Anti-Slip Chains Be Used on Urban Roads?
1 Answers
Anti-slip chains can be used on urban roads, but only on snow and ice-covered surfaces. They are strictly prohibited on regular roads. Concept and Classification of Anti-Slip Chains: Anti-slip chains are generally made of steel or rubber and serve the function of preventing skidding. Based on their structure, anti-slip chains can be divided into two types: one is a pre-formed chain cover, and the other consists of several separate chains installed in a cross pattern. The latter is simpler and more affordable but less convenient to install compared to the former. Precautions for Using Anti-Slip Chains: For front-wheel-drive vehicles, the chains should be installed on the front two wheels, while for rear-wheel-drive vehicles, they should be installed on the rear wheels. Notably, for four-wheel-drive vehicles, anti-slip chains must be installed on all wheels. Improper installation may lead to skidding or loss of balance.
