Orange rainstorm warning issued, Ministry of Transport initiates Level 2 defense response against heavy rainfall.

This morning, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued a orange alert for heavy rain. The Ministry of Transport has upgraded its response level from level 3 to level 2 for heavy rain. In areas with red or orange alerts for heavy rain, the Ministry of Transport requires local authorities to patrol non-stop road sections for at least 2 hours during the day and night, and conduct a comprehensive inspection before reopening closed road sections. The Ministry of Transport reminds drivers that visibility is limited in rainy conditions, which greatly affects their judgment of road conditions and vehicles around them. Therefore, the most important thing to do in bad weather is to "reduce speed and increase distance between vehicles," especially on highways, where drivers should strictly adhere to speed and distance regulations based on actual road conditions and rainfall intensity.
