Manitoba Infrastructure reminds drivers that in winter driving conditions and on slippery streets, drivers are requested to slow down and drive according to the conditions in order to get to their destination safely.
Snow-clearing crews will be on highways while adverse weather conditions continue. Drivers are asked to stay well back of operating maintenance equipment, slow down when passing approaching snowplows in operation and not to attempt to pass a plow in operation from behind at any time.
Whether on a highway or in a community, the posted speed limit is intended for ideal road and weather conditions. Turning on headlights, rather than relying on daytime running lights, will help other drivers see approaching vehicles and glowing tail lights will alert drivers approaching from behind.
Road conditions are available anytime at 511 (toll-free) or online at www.manitoba511.ca.
