As we’re starting to see icy roads and snow accumulation on streets the Michigan State Police want to make sure you consider a few things when heading out in winter conditions. When making travel decisions motorists should keep in mind that major roadways are the first to be cleared. If weather conditions appear to be too severe to travel, they most likely are. The majority of winter driving crashes are mostly due to drivers going too fast for the roadway conditions. Driving slow on snowy and icy roads allows the driver longer reaction time. Finally, remember active winter weather and hazardous traveling conditions create the greatest demand for police and EMS services. Do not tie up phone lines and dispatch personnel by calling to request weather or travel information.
