Grande Prairie RCMP are warning the public of icy, snow covered roads and reduced visibility. RCMP are reminding motorists to slow down and adjust their driving.
As a result of ongoing snowfall and freezing temperatures, RCMP advise that roadways in and out of Grande Prairie may be icy and snow covered.
Winter weather conditions pose challenges and safety risks for all motorists and pedestrians on our roadways. Exercising extra caution helps keep all residents safe.
RCMP suggest the following tips to drivers:
·Ensure all windows, side mirrors and lights are properly and completely cleared of snow
·Help others see you, make sure your lights are turned on
·Reduce your speed and give yourself more time to slow and stop
·Listen to the radio or check 511 on Twitter for updated road and weather reports
·Plan extra time to get to your destination
·Be prepared for changing road and weather conditions. Pack blankets or a winter survival kit, especially if you are planning a trip outside of town.
