Rising Temperatures May Cause Slippery Driving Conditions
Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (Oct. 2007 - Feb. 2021)
Drivers are encouraged to check road conditions before travelling tonight, Jan. 25, and into the morning hours. As the temperature climbs from freezing to above-zero overnight, a thin layer of ice may develop on roads, causing slippery driving conditions.
When temperatures rise, moisture is pulled from the ground and re-freezes, even in above zero temperatures.
Drivers can check the latest road conditions by viewing highway webcams on the department's website at www.gov.ns.ca/tran/cameras or by calling 511 or mobile 511 on their phones. Information on safe winter driving is also available on the website.
