Winter Driving Tips

Icesnow_logo2

 

Clear snow from your vehicle windshield, hood and roof - Snow on the hood and roof can blow off and hamper visibility
Be patient - Remember snowplows are working to improve road conditions for your trip
Slow down – Snowplows typically move at slower speeds
Stay back - At least five car lengths behind the plow, far from the snow cloud
Stay alert – Snowplows turn or exit frequently and often with little warning; they may also travel over centerlines or partially in traffic to further improve road conditions
Buckle up - Make sure all vehicle occupants are using their seat belts
Drive according to road conditions - Adjust your speed and increase your following distance
Check current road conditions - Go to 511mn.org or call 511
