Freezing rain is starting to fall. Which part of the road will likely freeze first?
The rule
When sleet, freezing rain or snow starts to fall, bridges, ramps and overpasses freeze before other parts of the road. Slippery spots can stay even after the snow is plowed.
When sleet, freezing rain or snow begins, bridges, ramps and overpasses freeze first. Slow down before you reach them.
From the New York State Driver's Manual, page 64. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
