Grande Prairie RCMP say travel is not recommended right now due to weather.

Mounties are currently responding to several reports of vehicles in ditches on Highway 43 between Grande prairie and Valleyview and they anticipate other roadways to be impacted by poor weather.

Drivers are encouraged to keep the following safety tips in mind:

Slow down and drive to conditions. Posted speed limits are meant for ideal conditions, not snow and ice.
Increase following distance to allow more time to stop.
Ensure your vehicle is winter-ready, including proper tires, a full windshield washer reservoir, and functioning lights.
Clear snow and ice from all windows, mirrors, and lights before driving.
Plan ahead, check road reports, give yourself extra travel time, and let others know your route.
If you approach a collision or emergency scene, please use caution when passing emergency vehicles.
