How to Deal with Road Surface Water Accumulation?
2 Answers
Implement organized drainage with systematic design and slope control. Poor connection between entrances/exits and peripheral municipal systems leads to elevation differences causing backflow. Adopt layered backfilling, compaction, and tamping for fill soil. Inadequate compaction of paving subgrade results in surface depressions after settlement. Conduct thorough measurement verification to prevent elevation errors. Insufficient drainage slopes around the site, despite having storm drains, still easily cause road surface water accumulation.
When driving during the rainy season, I always take extra caution when encountering waterlogged roads. Deep water can easily cause the car to skid and lose control, so I always slow down to below 40 km/h and maintain a low gear such as D2 or manual gear 1 to reduce tire splashing. At the same time, I observe the water depth in advance—if the water exceeds half the height of the tires, I quickly detour to avoid water entering the engine. Additionally, after heavy rain when there's more standing water, I check if the braking system is functioning properly, as water can corrode components and lead to failure. Remember to turn on your headlights so other vehicles can see you—safety first! After developing these habits, my driving risks have significantly decreased, especially on highways.
