Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) yesterday reminded drivers to take extra precautions while on the roadways… since there is a freezing rain warning.
“Give yourself extra time to get to your destination,” it said.
Environment Canada had a freezing drizzle advisory in effect for Durham Region up at 8:41 pm.
It said light ice accretion was possible on untreated surfaces. Freezing drizzle would end overnight or early Friday morning.
“Although ice accretion is expected to be minor, travel may be hazardous. Freezing drizzle will transition to light flurries by Friday morning.
“Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Freezing drizzle can produce thin, hard-to-detect layers of ice. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance,” it advised.
