How Do Weather Impact Roads?

 

Approximately 21% of these crashes are weather-related. Weather-related crashes are defined as those crashes that occur in adverse weather (rain, sleet, snow, fog, severe crosswinds, or blowing snow/sand/debris) or on slick pavement (wet pavement, snowy/slushy pavement, or icy pavement).

Often, snow will completely cover lane markings. Drivers may tend to move away from the edge of the road, thus passing closer to each other. Snow or ice between your tires and the road greatly reduces your traction and increases the distance you need to stop by at least six seconds. On slippery surfaces, you have the most traction and control when the front tires are rolling; therefore, your vehicle will respond better to steering than to braking.

Here are some other suggestions for safe winter driving:

  • Before you start driving, clear snow or ice from all windows and lights so you can see and be seen.
  • Equip your car with snow tires or chains to help prevent skidding and reduce stopping distances.
  • Drive gently; do not change speed or direction suddenly.
  • Slow down before stopping or turning (driving on packed snow is much like driving on ice).
  • Watch for ice on bridges and in shady areas (bridge surfaces freeze before other road surfaces).
