When visibility is less than 50 meters on highways during rain or snow, the maximum speed should be 20 km/h, and drivers should exit the highway at the nearest exit as soon as possible. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," when encountering heavy rain, snow, or fog with visibility less than 200 meters, drivers must turn on fog lights, low beams, position lights, and front and rear position lights. The speed must not exceed 60 km/h, and a distance of at least 100 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. When visibility drops below 100 meters, in addition to fog lights, low beams, position lights, front and rear taillights, and hazard warning flashers (double flashers) should also be activated. The speed should not exceed 40 km/h. When visibility is less than 50 meters, the safest approach is to avoid driving if possible. If driving is necessary, all available lights—such as fog lights, low beams, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers—should be turned on. However, drivers must remember not to use high beams. Additionally, the vehicle speed should be kept below 20 km/h. If unsure about the presence of vehicles or pedestrians ahead or behind, drivers should sound the horn appropriately to serve as a warning.
