Winter Driving

Colorado's winter driving conditions can change from sunny to blowing snow within an hour or two. Be prepared at all times, but especially in winter. Know road conditions, know your vehicle, use proper driving techniques for the conditions you find, and have the right emergency gear and equipment along. This website provides information to assist you. Below are some safe driving tips and a few links to help you prepare for your trip:

• Be sure to 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
