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 should turn on fog lights, low beams, marker lights, and front and rear position lights. The speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and a distance of more than 100 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. When visibility is less than 100 meters, in addition to fog lights, low beams, marker lights, front and rear tail lights, and hazard warning flashers (double flashers) should also be turned on, and the speed should not exceed 40 km/h. When visibility is less than 50 meters, the safest approach is to avoid driving if possible. Drivers should turn on all available lights, such as fog lights, low beams, marker lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers, but must avoid using high beams. Additionally, drivers should ensure the vehicle speed remains below 20 km/h and use the horn appropriately when unsure about the presence of vehicles or pedestrians ahead or behind, serving as a warning.
