With snowfall in the forecast, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is offering you tips to drive safely in snow.
They offer the following tips:
- Clear snow and ice from all windows and lights before driving
- Go slow. Remember the posted speed limits are for dry pavement
- Leave plenty of room for stopping
- Leave room for maintenance vehicles and plows
- Use brakes carefully. Brake early. It takes more time and distance to stop in adverse conditions
- Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition
- Don't get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle
- Don't use your cruise control in wintry conditions
