Responding to the upcoming bad weather on the weekend Tianjin traffic police issued travel safety tips

According to tianjin traffic police:

According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, from February 12 to 13, the city will "change face" in response to the weather, and snowfall, strong winds and cooling will be "arranged" together. In order to ensure the safety of citizens during bad weather, the public security traffic management department will launch a bad weather emergency evacuation plan in a timely manner according to the weather conditions, and issue travel safety tips to the citizens in advance according to the upcoming weather characteristics.

Travel in snowy weather

It is predicted that there will be a significant snowfall process from the afternoon of the 12th to the night of the 13th, and the public security traffic management department reminds the general public that the snowy weather will cause the road to be wet and slippery, the road surface is icy, the visibility is low, etc. It will obviously affect the driving trip, and the driving trip needs special attention.

● Snowfall roads are slippery, and controlling the speed is the key. Snowy weather road slippery, vehicle speed is too fast easy to tire slip, driving speed is slower than usual, to improve the control of the vehicle, when encountering turning, emergency, can have enough reaction time for safe operation or braking. In addition, the braking distance on slippery roads is longer than that on general dry roads, and the driver should brake slowly when braking. If the vehicle is out of control and slipping during the braking process, the brakes should be released, the steering wheel should be turned slightly in the direction of the offset, and then the brakes should be lightly stepped on after the direction of the body was corrected, and then the brakes should be slowly braked.

●On snowy days, visibility is low, so "seeing" and "being seen" are safe. On snowy days, visibility is low, and the driver's vision will become blurred, bringing hidden dangers to safe driving. Driving on snow days should open the wiper in time and adjust the speed of the wiper according to the amount of snow to keep the line of sight clear. In addition, it is necessary to correctly use the headlights to improve visibility, so that not only can the driver see the road conditions by himself, but also improve the recognition of the vehicle and let the surrounding vehicles see themselves.

●Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle to reduce paralleling and overtaking. Snow day driving vehicle control difficulty increases, driving should be minimized in parallel, overtaking, especially do not overtake in the corner; if you have to overtake, to maintain a good lateral distance from other vehicles to prevent accidents.

When walking or riding non-motorized vehicles on snow-falling or icy roads, citizens often focus on the road under their feet due to fear of slipping and falling, and ignore the driving conditions of the vehicles around them. Therefore, when riding non-motorized vehicles or walking on snowy days, citizens should increase their attention, pay attention to observe road conditions and vehicles, do not shuttle on the road, and should travel in a civilized and law-abiding manner.

● Walking on snowy and icy roads, it is best to wear non-slip rubber shoes, try not to wear flat-bottomed shoes without patterns, lower the center of gravity of the body, and pay attention to the driving situation at any time.

● When crossing the road, you must first stand on the side of the road to adjust the angle of the rain hat and umbrella so that it does not block the line of sight, and first observe that there are no vehicles coming, and then carefully pass.

● Do not rush or run, do not cross between two cars, and do not suddenly change the direction of walking or retreat.

●When riding on snow days, you should keep a large distance from the vehicles and pedestrians in front of you to avoid accidents.

●When riding, do not organize scarves and clothes during cycling, and park your car in a safe area to make these preparations.

Travel on windy days

In addition, according to meteorological forecasts, during the snowfall process or will be accompanied by strong winds, the temperature drop is obvious, driving on windy days should pay attention to judging the wind direction in advance, paying special attention to first observing and then driving the door.

●Driving to determine the wind direction in advance. Driving on a windy day should pay attention to the correct identification of the wind direction, the car to borrow the wind potential, the downwind car runs more easily than usual, so the braking distance will be extended, and when traveling with the car, pay attention to the distance between the car and the car in front of you, in order to prevent rear-end collision. Driving against the wind, there is a feeling of lack of power under the same acceleration pedal, especially in the uphill section of the feeling will be more obvious. To counteract the effects of the wind, the accelerator pedal should be deepened in moderation. Driving against the wind, you should also pay attention to the sudden change of wind direction or a large curvature in the road, and the speed of the car increases suddenly due to the reduction of resistance, resulting in an accident that loses control.

●Observe and then open the door. If you do not pay attention to the opening of the door, the wind will blow the door open in an instant, which may cause the door hinge to be broken, or hurt the safety of the surrounding pedestrians. While the driver is driving the door with one hand when getting out of the car, the other hand needs to assist in grasping the door, observing the road conditions and then opening it to prevent the door from being blown open in an instant and causing unnecessary injury.

When citizens walk or ride non-motorized vehicles, they should pay attention to avoiding the "narrow pipe effect". When walking and cycling in windy weather, you should take less narrow passages between high-rise buildings, because the narrow passage will form a "narrow pipe effect", and the wind will increase in the channel, thus bringing certain dangers to pedestrians in the process. When riding a non-motorized vehicle, pay attention to prevent sidewinds from causing the body to be unstable and shifted. In addition, some billboards may collapse under the action of strong winds due to poor installation, causing danger to pedestrians, and should be consciously avoided in advance.

Tips for traveling in bad weather

●Windproof and icy. Early in the morning after the snowfall, you will find a thin layer of ice on the glass of the car. Most owners will start the car first, blow against the windshield with hot air, wait for the hot wind to blow the ice on the windshield, and then use a wiper to brush. This approach takes relatively long. In fact, you can use salt directly sprinkled to the place where you want to de-icing, and wipe it after half a minute. In addition, glass water can also be used, you can pour glass water into a watering can, the freezing point of -30 ° C glass water sprinkled on the front windshield, a little time the ice melted, and then wiped clean. If these two things are not, you can only use an ice shovel, a hard card to de-icing, in order to prevent the glass from being scratched when de-icing, you can not use plastic scrapers or ice shovels to scrape the glass back and forth, you should scrape lightly in the same direction. Do not use hot water to pour, the windshield may explode due to thermal expansion and contraction. In fact, the best way is to plan ahead, cover the whole car with professional clothes before snowfall or cover the glass of the car with a cloth, which can effectively prevent icing.

●Hot car. Hot car should not be slammed on the accelerator, before driving, after starting the engine should be slowly driven for preheating, the hot car process should be carried out in slow driving, do not step on the accelerator too violently, the EFI engine should try to avoid idle heat car in situ.

●Defogging. When the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, the fog that appears on the glass of the car will bring a lot of trouble to the driving. The following methods can be used to remove fog: one is to open the air conditioning refrigeration switch in the car, and the air conditioner blowing to the windshield will quickly remove fog; second, if the snowfall is not large, the windows on both sides can be opened to allow the air in the car to be de-fogged; the third is to spray the mist remover on the inner surface of the glass and wipe it clean, which can prevent water vapor from condensing on the glass to form a fog layer.

In addition, the public security traffic management department released real-time information such as highway closures and snowy driving safety information for the majority of traffic participants through the "Tianjin Traffic Police" new media platform, and strengthened road information guidance tips with the help of AutoNavi and Baidu Maps to ensure the safety and smooth travel of citizens. In case of bad weather, if there is a travel plan, the public can also learn about the highway conditions in our city and the opening and closing status of each toll station anytime and anywhere by paying attention to the "travel service" - "highway condition" column in the "Tianjin Traffic Management Service Express" WeChat Mini Program.
