Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of the wading line?

The fording line monitors flooding conditions in real time so that flooding can be dealt with promptly. It also alerts drivers to flooding ahead to reduce the risk of vehicles being unable to continue driving due to flooding.

What should I do if I see that the wading line has been flooded?

When the driver sees that the accumulated water touches or submerges the fording line, it means that the water depth at the lowest point of the road ahead has reached 0.3 meters or more. The driver should stop in front of the fording line to avoid entering the flooded section, turn on the vehicle's hazard warning lights, and drive out of the temporarily closed section according to the on-site instructions.
