Please be careful when the traffic police rush into the snow and ice road of the big trucks in Beijing-Zhuhai North by mistake.
Affected by this round of "refrigerator-level" cold wave, freezing rain and snow occurred in Lechang, Ruyuan and Nanxiong in Shaoguan City, which is located in the alpine mountain area of northern Guangdong Province, resulting in the interruption of many roads, among which the northern section of Shaoguan (Beijing-Zhuhai-North) of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway was closed for more than 100 hours by noon on January 26th due to road icing and snow.
On the 30th, the reporter learned from the traffic police department of Shaoguan Expressway that although the traffic police department has separately diverted vehicles to Guangle Expressway at Ruyuan Toll Station Interchange in the northbound direction of Beijing-Zhuhai and Pingshi North Interchange (K5) in the southbound direction since the early morning of the 26th, there are still vehicles that "mistakenly entered" Beijing-Zhuhai North and stayed on the icy expressway.
On the morning of January 29th, Shaoguan high-speed traffic police found a large truck with Zhengzhou license plate in Henan parked on the expressway when they were inspecting the Beijing-Zhuhai North Bridge section which had been closed due to snow and ice. The traffic police came forward to ask and learned that the driver of the large truck "mistakenly broke into the restricted area" when passing through the traffic control section and drove to the icy section, so the vehicle could not move on and it was worth stopping on the road. The traffic police department immediately sent a batch of food and warm items for the drivers of large trucks to resist hunger and cold.
At noon on the 30 th, the road icing situation near the parking position of the big truck improved. The traffic police department immediately assisted the driver of the big truck to install anti-skid facilities and commanded the big truck to slowly reverse and leave the expressway.
On the morning of 29th, during an interview in Ruyuan Bridge Town, the reporter found that a car with Shenzhen number plate was parked on an icy uphill section of Bridge Town on G240 National Highway, and the windshield, rearview mirror and body were covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and the car was empty. A triangular warning sign was placed about 30 meters behind the car, and the car was suspected to have been temporarily "abandoned" by its owner.
The roads with snow and ice are prone to traffic accidents. The picture shows the traffic police urgently handling the accident vehicles on Guangle Expressway.
The traffic police reminded the majority of car owners not to drive on ice and snow roads as much as possible, especially most Guangdong drivers who lack experience in driving on ice and snow roads. If they must drive on ice and snow roads, they should install snow chains as much as possible, and try to keep driving at a constant speed during the driving process. If there are wheel tracks in front of them, they can follow the rut; When the vehicle is accelerating, lightly step on the accelerator to prevent the driving speed from suddenly rising and slipping, or the two wheels encounter different resistances during the rapid acceleration, resulting in lateral sliding; Don’t hit the steering wheel when driving, slow down in advance when turning, and increase the turning radius appropriately to prevent sideslip.
At the same time, the traffic police reminded that because the friction of ice and snow pavement is smaller than that of dry pavement, it is necessary to increase the safe distance during driving to prevent rear-end collision. Don’t slam on the brakes when braking. The correct way is to "point the brakes" and use the engine to slow down the speed. When parking, park in a sheltered and flat place as far as possible. When parking on a slope road, it is necessary to prevent the car from slipping. Bricks or stones can be used to pad the bottom wheel position.
