Drivers are advised to prepare for winter conditions and adjust driving habits accordingly.

  • Drivers should consider postponing non-essential travel.
  • Posted speed limits are the maximum intended for ideal summer conditions. Drivers are reminded to slow down and drive for winter conditions.

  • Drivers are encouraged to have winter or all-season tires on their vehicles.
  • Drivers are reminded to activate headlights so that tail lights are visible to drivers following behind.
  • All vehicles should have a winter emergency kit during winter months.
  • Snowplows need room to work – stay back at least 10 metres to prevent collisions.
