Will highways be closed due to rain?

[McReagan]

Under normal rainy conditions, highways are not closed unless there is extreme weather such as heavy rain or thick fog. In such cases, temporary closures are usually implemented to prevent accidents. Highways are only closed in the event of natural disasters, severe weather conditions like strong winds, typhoons, or heavy snow, or serious multi-vehicle accidents. Below are some precautions for driving on highways during rainy weather: 1. Ensure clear visibility: Before starting the car, the driver should ensure good visibility. Rain can cause the rearview mirrors to become wet and blur the driver's vision. Always wipe the mirrors dry to clearly observe the movement of vehicles behind and react quickly. 2. Check the vehicle's brakes: Before driving, promptly inspect the vehicle's braking system to prevent accidents caused by brake failure due to water ingress. 3. Avoid sudden braking when encountering water: Reduce speed when driving through puddles to prevent splashing water from hitting the windshield and obscuring the driver's view. Do not abruptly brake to avoid water on the highway, and ensure the vehicle's direction of movement does not change significantly.
