At what time of day should we avoid crossing mountain passes in winter?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
To drive safely in winter, it is important to **avoid driving at night** in mountain passes. At night, conditions can be more dangerous due to the **possibility of ice** on the road, especially in areas where the sun does not reach, such as bridges and overpasses. Ice causes the wheels to lose grip, increasing the risk of skidding and accidents.
Additionally, visibility is lower at night, making it difficult to see the road, signs, and other vehicles. This, combined with ice, makes it harder to control the vehicle and brake in time.
For these reasons, it is safer to plan the trip to avoid driving through mountain passes at night in winter.
