Black ice can also form at temperatures
above +37F/+3C. You should therefore
drive carefully on bridges and shaded
roads, for example, otherwise there is an
increased risk of an accident

Sooooo 37 degree warning is completely arbitrary? Where did they come up with that? I guess they had to pick some number.
Maybe that book...the manual I think it's called??? Should read..." Drive carefully all the time...you could be killed at any temperature but we think 37 is extra scary for some reason."
Come on guys/gals.

It's because overpasses and such can freeze, if there's a breeze, the temp can drop below/over/around an overpass which can cause freezing.

Even if it's above 32f.
