To improve the forecast and early warning ability for the low visibility along the expressway, the hourly observation data of 10 traffic meteorological stations along Shaanxi section of the Lian-Huo expressway and the hourly reanalysis data of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts are employed to analyze the distribution characteristics of low visibility and to explore the relationship of low visibility with other meteorological factors. The results show that along Shaanxi section of the Lian-Huo expressway, January has the most low visibility, while February has the least. During a day, the low visibility mostly happens from 00:00 to 10:00, and the low visibility of 0-50 m mainly occurs from 05:00 to 06:00. The low visibility duration is short with the majority of within 2 hours and the longest of 17 hours. The low visibility weathers occur frequently from Xingping to Changxing and Chencang section, where attention should be paid in daily traffic meteorological service. Accordingly to the analysis of the relationship between low visibility and other meteorological factors, the low visibility generally occurs under the conditions of air temperature from 0 to 5 ℃, relative humidity above 90%, wind speed less than 1.0 m·s^-1 and northeast to east winds. The low visibility weather in summer and winter is mostly associated with precipitation, which usually occurs during or after the precipitation and is accompanied by weather systems always. Compared with the low visibility caused by radiation cooling, the low visibility associated with precipitation exhibits longer duration and the wider range. The low visibility weathers occur at different relative humilities in different seasons, which in winter, summer and autumn are high, while in spring are relatively low.
