Blue background with white text indicates east-west directions, while green background with white text indicates north-south directions. Below are the correct methods for reading road signs: 1. General road direction signs: Color and graphics - blue background, white graphics, white borders, blue edging. Classified by function: route guidance signs, location guidance signs, road facility guidance signs, and other road information guidance signs. 2. Principles for reading road signs: Generally follow the principle of 'left for near, right for far' and 'top for near, bottom for far'. Route guidance signs are divided into: intersection advance signs, intersection notification signs, and confirmation signs. General road intersection advance signs are mainly used on highways; due to the high density of urban road networks and short distances between intersections, these advance signs are rarely set up in cities. General road intersection notification signs have identical layouts and information to advance signs, with the sole difference being that advance signs include distance information on their panels.

Can Snow Tires Still Be Used After 6 Years?

Snow tires cannot continue to be used after 6 years. Reasons for not continuing to use them: Rubber products harden, crack, and lose their original elasticity over time. Generally, they should be replaced every 6 years. Snow tires are specifically designed and manufactured for winter snow conditions. When driving in hot weather, they differ from summer tires in terms of handling, comfort, noise, and speed limits. Therefore, they should be switched back to summer tires when temperatures rise in spring and the roads are dry. Snow tire composition: They typically use a different rubber compound than all-season tires. Winter tires contain a higher proportion of natural rubber and silica, which more effectively enhances grip in low-temperature conditions.

Will the hazard lights turn on automatically during emergency braking?

Emergency braking automatically activates the hazard lights. Usage of hazard lights: If the vehicle breaks down and cannot move (or moves at low speed, including when being towed), the hazard lights should also be turned on to alert vehicles behind. In China, the use of hazard lights is subject to very strict requirements. When using hazard lights, one must consider not only their own safety but also avoid affecting the driving of others. Braking principle: The principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing a corresponding brake shoe, band, or disc on the machine base, which generates braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle speed.

What Causes the Wiper Blade to Make Noise?

The primary reason for wiper blades making noise is aging. Reasons for wiper blade aging: Generally, it is recommended to replace wiper blades once a year. Rubber components are prone to aging, and since wiper blades are exposed outside the vehicle, they are even more susceptible to hardening. Aged, cracked, or hardened wiper blades will produce noise. New types of wiper blades: Besides rubber wiper blades, there are now silicone wiper blades available. Due to their material properties, these wiper blades last longer than rubber ones and are less prone to aging. Some silicone wiper blades even have an automatic coating function. After installation, there's no need to use windshield washer fluid; within 3-5 minutes, a protective film will form on the windshield surface. During rainy days, water droplets will quickly slide off the glass surface without obstructing visibility.
