Traffic Advisory: icy road conditions

Police have received numerous reports of icy road conditions throughout the region.

Allow extra time for your commute so you don’t feel that you have to rush. Winter driving conditions can vary dramatically in our region and require the driver’s full attention. Road conditions often warrant a significantly slower speed than what is posted. When the roads are slippery, a vehicle’s stopping distance increases so allow extra space between you and the road user ahead. When approaching a red light or stop sign, begin stopping earlier to help prevent sliding into the intersection. Keep a watchful eye out for other road users, pedestrians and cyclists.
