Vehicle Icy Road Safety Tips:
Rain, snow, fog, sleet and icy pavement increase the hazards of driving. Slow down and increase your reactionary gap. Be especially alert when driving in adverse conditions. Be cautious on bridges and overpasses as they are commonly the first area to become icy and may be more slippery than the approaching roadway.
