Grande Prairie RCMP warn drivers about “poor road conditions”

Dec 7, 2024 | 3:38 PM

Grande Prairie RCMP is informing motorists about the current poor road conditions from the freezing rain.

In the release, RCMP said there are currently “multiple collisions due to poor road conditions,” in and round the City of Grande Prairie.

To help residents get to their destination safely, Mounties suggest:

  • Ensure all windows, side mirrors and lights are cleared of snow and ice
  • Help others see you by making sure your lights are turned on
  • Reduce your speed and give yourself more time to slow down and stop
  • Allow extra time to get to your destination safely
  • Be prepared for rapidly changing road and weather conditions. Pack blankets or a winter survival kit especially if planning a trip outside of town.

Anyone planning on travelling can plan the safest route using 511 Alberta.
