Safety Tips for Driving on Icy Roadways

If you NEED to be out on the roads, please drive with extra caution. Icy roads can be unpredictable, even if they look clear, and stopping distances can increase significantly. Bridges and overpasses freeze first, so approach them with care. Drive slower than usual, leave plenty of space between your car and others, and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns to reduce the risk of sliding.

If you find yourself in need of assistance or involved in an accident, it may take some time for first responders to reach you due to the conditions. To stay prepared, ensure your vehicle is equipped with essentials like a blanket, water, a flashlight, and any medications you might need.

If traveling is absolutely unavoidable, please take it slow and drive thoughtfully!
