Traffic management departments in many places stick to the snow situation day and night
In order to effectively deal with the large-scale rain and snow bad weather, recently, the Ministry of Public Security organized relevant provinces to hold a video dispatch meeting, and deployed all localities to quickly start the traffic emergency response plan for ice and snow bad weather, so as to ensure the safety of traffic travel.
In order to reduce the impact of continuous snowfall on the expressway, the Shanxi Expressway Traffic Police and relevant departments carried out salt and snow melting operations overnight to prevent the road from freezing at night. Due to the snow and slippery road conditions, some highways are covered with snow and slippery, and there are no safe passage conditions, so the traffic management department began to implement control measures for different vehicle models, divert the vehicles stranded on the expressway, and rescue the trapped people.
