Winter Driving Advisory

Police advise motorists to adjust their driving in light of the weather conditions.

The snow is forecasted to change to rain in the afternoon, with a risk of freezing rain early in the afternoon.

We remind motorists to adjust their driving and be mindful of changing road conditions throughout the day and overnight. A vehicle’s stopping distance increases when it’s slippery so allow extra space between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. When approaching a red light or stop sign, begin stopping earlier to help prevent sliding into the intersection.

Motorists are reminded to keep a watchful eye out for pedestrians, particularly at intersections and crosswalks, and pedestrians are reminded to make eye contact with drivers and wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop before attempting to cross the road.
