Snow fell in parts of Ningbo’s mountain area on December 18. According to Yinzhou traffic police, municipal winter traffic emergency plan was started. Real-time supervision of mountain road condition was conducted. Warning boards were placed on the icy road leading to Xizhang, Lihu and Yanma Villages. More traffic policemen were ordered to patrol roads and workers were organized to clear the snow to ensure a smooth road condition.
The traffic police advised villagers to reduce private car travel and to take public transport as far as possible. It also suggested the drivers to drive in a slow speed on an icy road to keep safety.
In addition, hitting the brake for several times before stopping the car was a good way to remind the car followed to slow down and avoid rear-end collision. If the snow was too big to indentify the road condition ahead, the driver had better pull over and turn on the flashlight. If they met big difficulties, they should call the police on time.
