Brine is an effective road surface treatment for the prevention of frost & ice. But why do bridges & overpasses freeze up first? Check out #TheWeatherChannel

Early morning lower temps are slowly coming. Bridge deck open structures do not trap heat & are subject to freezing before a road. #SlowDown & #ShiftIntoWinter, drive accordingly & check #DriveBC for weather & road conditions. #WinterDriving

Fewer daylight hours in the fall & winter have us driving to & from work in the dark. Daytime running lights on "most" newer vehicles don't turn tail lights on. Don't be a hazard to others, manually turn your lights on to be seen!
