Drivers are advised to adjust their driving habits to the conditions and reminded that bridges and overpasses freeze before other sections of the road surface, which can create a sudden change of road surface conditions.

Officers also remind drivers that they need to slow down to 60 kilometres/hour while passing emergency vehicles on the highway.
