Explanation
Unlike regular roads, bridges and overpasses are elevated structures exposed to cold air both above and below, with no insulating ground beneath them. This makes them freeze faster than other surfaces during cold weather. When driving in freezing conditions, you should slow down in advance and exercise special caution when crossing these areas, as they become slippery sooner than normal roadways and can lead to dangerous loss of vehicle control if not approached carefully.
