WHY do ice waves or bumps appear on the roads in winter?
⠀
Ice bumps on the road are a consequence of double-wheeled buses and shuttle buses.
They begin to form after warming, when there is a "snowy mess" on the road.
⠀
Wheels in more or less random directions roll furrows, they break up into individual segments
as they move and begin to grind away at the wheels.
⠀
The wheel runs over such a bump, forms it when it stands. Then, when moving, the wheel usually still skips over, over this ice crust, and such grinding motions form the bumps.
⠀
Another reason is when a wheel pushes snow in front of it, rolls a bump, then self-localizes in that spot, and stuffs the snow with subsequent wheels. This is how the bump is germinated and continues to grow.Join and share
