Metal Bridge Deck

The bridge deck ahead is a metal surface that can be slippery and handle differently than pavement.

Posted in advance of bridges with open or solid steel decks, this warning prepares drivers for a surface that loses traction quickly when wet, ices over before adjacent pavement, and can cause vehicles to track or wander even in dry conditions. Reduce speed, keep a firm grip on the wheel, and avoid sudden braking or steering across the deck.
