Abstract Abnormal weather and natural disasters have become more frequent and serious around the world in recent years. Heavy rain, ice, snow, fog and haze impacts transport systems seriously and differently. Based on reviewing the relevant research on the prevention and control of traffic meteorological disasters at home and abroad, this study firstly illustrates the micro mechanism of different abnormal weathers’ influences on transport, and then analyzes cases of damage to transport system due to different abnormal weather conditions in China in recent years. Lastly, it discusses several key strategies, especially policy recommendations, for prevention of transport congestion and traffic accidents in abnormal bad weather.

    Highlights Classifying different weather conditions and pre-arranged plans are very critical. To create a reliable transportation system is a priority to disaster prevention. Mitigation and adaptation policies can ease the impacts of abnormal bad weather.
