Drivers are urged to use caution on all elevated surfaces in these areas. During snowy and icy conditions, motorists are asked to:
- Drive slowly and stay alert. Allow extra space between vehicles.
- Don’t crowd the plows. Do not pass road clearing equipment and stay at least 200 feet back, or at least four to five school bus lengths. Crews need room to maneuver and can engage plowing or spreading materials without notice.
- Be aware of “black ice,” which looks wet on the roadway but is a thin layer of ice, especially early morning and overnight.
- Check weather reports, plan ahead and allow extra time in reaching destinations.
