On a cold, wet day, which part of the road freezes before the rest?
The rule
Ramps and bridges freeze before the rest of the road, and plowed roads can refreeze at night.
Ramps and bridges freeze before roads do. Slow down for them in cold, wet weather.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 5, page 28. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
