“During the winter season, please drive to the conditions, slow down, and increase the distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you. We encourage drivers to choose the best winter tires possible when driving in snow and ice, and to ensure tires are in good condition, with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm. We’re also asking cyclists to please take responsibility for their own safety,” said General Manager Rick Gill.
