If you have to travel, always give yourself extra time to get to your destination, travel during daylight hours when possible and let someone know your route and when you plan to arrive.

If you have questions about when you can expect to see our crews on the highways you travel, check out this blog entry from BC Transportation and Infrastructure: The ABCs of Winter Highway Classification and Maintenance - http://bit.ly/2LqixHo #NorthPeace #PeaceRegion #BCHwy29 #BCHwy77 #BCHwy97

#SnowPlowSafety Tip - Don’t crowd the plow. Maintenance vehicles plow far and wide sometimes very wide. The front plow extends several feet in front of the truck and may cross the center line and shoulders during plowing operations.

#ShiftintoWinter Driving Tip 5: Keep at least four seconds distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. This will allow plenty of room in situations where you may need to brake suddenly on a slippery surface. http://bit.ly/2kgVpOe

#ShiftintoWinter Driving Tip 4: Learn winter road skills. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow and icy conditions and your job requires you to be behind the wheel, ask your employer for winter driving training. http://bit.ly/2kgVpOe

Stuck in the snow? Stay with your vehicle. Call your local towing company or 911 if it is an emergency.

A vehicle incident has occurred north of Mile 73 on #BCHwy97 north of #FortStJohn. Highway is reduced to single lane alternating traffic, assessment in progress. For current updates, please visit www.DriveBC.ca. #NorthPeace #YXJ

#ShiftIntoWinter! Check wwwDriveBC.ca for local road conditions before heading out.

#ShiftintoWinter Driving Tip 3: Leave lots of time so you’re not rushing. Try to travel during daylight and consider delaying your trip if the weather is poor. Let someone know your route and planned arrival time. http://bit.ly/2kgVpOe
