Snow is in the forecast for this weekend, and authorities are reminding drivers to prepare for winter road conditions.
Motorists are being urged to equip their vehicles with winter tires for better traction and control, ensure windshield wipers are in good condition, and carry an emergency kit with blankets, a flashlight and non-perishable snacks. Drivers are also advised to slow down, leave extra room between vehicles, and allow extra travel time.
Before heading out, check road conditions at 511on.ca or municipal511.ca. In emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency police matters, the Ontario Provincial Police can be reached at 1-888-310-1122.
Authorities stress that taking precautions now can help prevent accidents and keep drivers safe during winter weather.
