- Monitor road and weather conditions - Plan your trip and check local weather conditions before heading out.
- Check the Ministry of Transportation website prior to heading out on any trip during the winter - Please do not call 9-1-1 or the OPP for road reports); instead log onto: www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/conditions
