While a slight breeze doesn’t do much to road conditions, heavy winds can be just as dangerous (if not moreso) as a rainstorm or a snow flurry. Consider the potentially dangerous effects of wind:
- High-octane wind can blow a number of objects onto roads, including tree branches, tarps, and other dangerous debris.
- Wind can also be strong enough to knock down trees littering the sides of roads.
- Vehicles with high, narrow profiles (such as large vans, trucks, and 18-wheelers) can also meet the same fate as trees.
- Vehicles towing objects, such as tow trucks and trailers, can lose control of their cargo – and thus lose control of their automobile.
- A combination of wind and rain can wreak havoc on power lines, blowing transistors and potentially encasing the road in darkness during the evenings.
We don’t really think much of it, but when winds are strong, they can prove to be a formidable foe to road and driver safety.
