They also remind drivers of some tips to consider before going out on area road.
- Don’t Text and Drive!
• Pass carefully. Use your turn signals, consider conditions and
obstacles, and look for approaching vehicles
• Don’t veer for deer or other animals.
• Remove all snow and ice from the surfaces of your vehicle
• When there’s ice and snow, be patient and take it slow. - Protect emergency services personnel at incidents by moving over
• Prepare for quickly changing conditions by having winter tires, windshield
wipers, and washer fluid. Stock your vehicle Emergency kit with a shovel, blanket, booster cables, flashlight, and more.
• Police close roads for safety. Do not drive on closed roads. In a whiteout, don’t stop on the roadway. Find a driveway or parking lot to pull into. Vehicles parked or abandoned on roadways can be towed and fined. For winter road conditions, call 1–866–266–7569
• Slow–moving horse–drawn vehicles are common in our area.
• Ask yourself do you really need to travel, is it safe, and is it worth the risk?
