CDOT Is Ready For Spring Storms, Are You?

With Spring storms on the way and the chance for accumulations of snow to hamper your driving, CDOT is ready to make things easier by using the latest technology and products to remove ice and snow out of your way. CDOT is now offering an opportunity for you to be notified when major incidents and road closures occur around the state.

Sign up for e-mail and text message alerts about road closures and chain laws.

Visit  www.cotrip.org   or call 511 to get up to date road condition information.

Here are a few safe driving tips to remember:

• Carry plenty of windshield wiper fluid as liquid de-icers may stick to your windshield
• Let the snowplow drivers do their jobs by giving them extra room
• Slow down!  Even roads that have been treated with liquid de-icers may be slippery
• Don't use cruise control when traveling in winter conditions
• Be prepared.  Have a scraper, snow brush, coat, hat, gloves, blanket, first aid kit, flashlight, tire chains, matches and nonperishable food in your car
• Make sure your tires have good tread
