Typhoon can bring chaos to road transport, although the degree of danger may be smaller than that of ships on the sea. For example, the flooding of roads and bridges, the landslides, high winds’ overturning driving vehicles, and the malfunctioning traffic signs, each of which is able to affect traffic safety. 

Therefore, during a typhoon, there are a few things you need to know:

1. Park Safely

Protecting your car from a typhoon typically involves sheltering it from high winds and water. Parking your car in a garage if possible. If you don’t have a garage, consider parking your car close to a building, which can offer at least partial protection from high winds. Another way to protect your vehicle is to avoid parking under trees or power lines that can be blown down.

2. If you have to drive after a tropical storm or a typhoon has swept across your neighborhood, consider this advice:

(1) Drive only if necessary.

(2) Drive the car at low speed and keep an eye on the front.

(3) Avoid flooded roads, washed-out bridges and underground lanes.

(4) Watch out for fallen objects, downed power lines and weakened walls, bridges, roads and sidewalks. 

(5) Stop driving when the velocity of wind exceeds 25 meters per second.

(6) Stop driving if your vision is blocked by wind and rain or the road condition is unknown.
