Weather conditions during winter vary throughout the country and can often change fast. Be prepared for all conditions from rain and fog through to frost, ice, and snow.

When heading out in icy or snowy conditions, carry warm clothes, water, and snacks in case you get stuck or need to wait for conditions to pass. You should also make sure you have at least half a tank of fuel or enough range in case of detours and diversions.

Pull over somewhere safe if you need to stop. Call a towing company to help you if you’re stuck. Call 111 in an emergency.

We monitor state highway conditions and we’ll close roads when conditions worsen to keep everyone safe.
