Prince Edward Island RCMP are encouraging motorists to monitor local weather reports today as conditions are expected to deteriorate on roadways across the province with a mixture of snow and ice pellets.

If you are planning to travel, listen to local weather reports and check the Provincial Government website 

http://www.gov.pe.ca/roadconditions/  before heading out for an update on conditions from the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal. You may even consider delaying travel plans if road conditions are not ideal.

If you still must travel, reduce your speed, allow for extra travel time and avoid sudden starts, stops and lane changes or turns during icy conditions, which may cause you to be involved in a collision.

Visit Prince Edward Island Government Website www.gov.pe.ca (left sidebar notes “Winter Driving”) for more winter time driving and travel tips.
