Will highways be closed during snowfall?
1 Answers
Highways may be closed during snowfall when slippery road conditions severely affect driving safety. In the event of natural disasters or severe weather conditions, traffic control measures can be implemented on highways, with the decision to close roads based on actual road conditions. Once a decision is made, it should be announced to the public in advance. Traffic management departments under public security authorities can take measures such as guiding, restricting, or prohibiting the passage of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians based on specific road and traffic flow conditions. When large-scale public events, extensive construction, or other situations require traffic restriction measures, or when decisions directly related to public road traffic activities are made, these should be announced to the public in advance. In cases where natural disasters, severe weather conditions, or major traffic accidents significantly impact traffic safety, and other measures are insufficient to ensure safety, traffic management departments under public security authorities may implement traffic control.
