IDOT and the Illinois State Police are preparing for winter weather conditions on Illinois roadways. They have shared several safety tips to help drivers navigate the challenges of snow and ice.
As the colder months approach, these agencies emphasize the importance of being prepared before hitting the roads. They recommend checking vehicle systems such as brakes, battery, lights, heater, and defroster. Additionally, having an emergency kit with items like blankets, food, water, and a first-aid kit is advised.
Drivers are also urged to stay informed about weather conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. "Before heading out in winter weather," they advise, "make sure your car is in good working order."
By taking these precautions, IDOT and the Illinois State Police aim to ensure safer travel during winter months.
