Stay Prepared for Winter Driving

With more snow on the way, travelers should be ready for winter road conditions. It’s important to pack emergency supplies, including warm clothing, food, and water.

Checking traffic updates before heading out can also help avoid long delays.

CDOT’s Safety Reminders for Drivers

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is urging drivers to stay safe on the roads.

They advise motorists to keep their distance from snowplows and avoid driving alongside plows working in tandem. Giving plows space ensures they can clear the roads efficiently and safely.

As snowfall continues, travelers should remain cautious and plan for potential delays. Safe driving and preparation can make winter travel smoother and less stressful.
