Winter Weather is Coming!

Winter Driving Tips

  • Always wear your seat belt, drive at a reduced speed, and always drive defensively.
  • Always turn on your headlights during inclement weather.
  • Turn on your headlights when your wipers are on - it's the law.
  • Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination during the winter.
  • Keep your gas tank full.
  • Visit www.511pa.com or call 511 for travel information.
  • Maintain at least twice the normal following distance when driving on snow or ice. Rear­end collisions account for most winter crashes.
  • Avoid sudden stops and starts.
  • Use extra care when driving on a bridge or elevated ramp during the winter because they freeze before roads do.
  • Keep your vehicle in proper working condition. Make sure the engine is tuned and the battery, belts; hoses, and radiator are checked. Examine your tires to make sure they have adequate tread and keep your tires properly inflated.
  • Periodically check the level of windshield washing fluid and only use fluids containing an anti-freeze solvent. Keep an extra container of windshield fluid in the trunk.
  • Remove snow and ice from your windows, mirrors, hood, headlights, taillights, and trunk before driving.
  • Keep the following items in your vehicle during the winter: an ice scraper/snow brush; deicer; small snow shovel; warning devices (flares or triangles); and bag of salt or sand; flashlight; battery cables; tire chains; paper towels; blankets and non-perishable food.
  • Maintain a distance of at least six car lengths behind a snowplow.
  • Do not pass a snowplow because the plow blades are wider than the truck.
  • Do not pass or get between snowplow trucks plowing in a plow line.
  • Carpool or use mass transit whenever possible during the winter. Fewer cars on the road makes travel safer during a snowstorm and expedites snow plowing operations.
  • Don't drink and drive. Alcohol and icy roads can be a deadly combination.
  • Follow PennDOT news on X, Facebook, and lnstagram.
