Winter road safety

Heading to the snow this weekend? Winter roads can change fast and the safest trip is the one you prepare for.

Cold weather brings black ice, low visibility and sudden weather changes across the ACT and alpine routes. Before you go, check conditions, slow down on shaded stretches, and leave extra space between vehicles. If you’re driving at night or early morning, be ready for frost and ice on bends and bridges.

Pack warm gear, a charged phone, water and a scraper for your windscreen. If something doesn’t feel right on the road: a dangerous driver, an unsafe situation, or suspicious behaviour, you can safely and anonymously share what you’ve noticed.

Protect what matters most to you. Anonymously. Report online at https://www.crimestoppersact.com.au/  or call 1800 333 000.
