ndhpBismarck  (CSi)   With the potential for much of the state to experience winter road conditions, the next few days,  the North Dakota Highway Patrol urges all motorists to drive with care, buckle up and obey posted speed limits. If road conditions deteriorate, motorists should drive for the conditions and have a winter travel kit in their vehicles. Motorists should be prepared to share the road with snow plows and other maintenance equipment.

So far this year, 124 people have died in traffic crashes in the state. With the potential for snow covered and icy roads, please take the necessary precautions to arrive at your destination safely. This holiday season, please remember to drive safely, wear your seatbelt, and never drink and drive.

Road information can be checked by dialing 511, using the smartphone app or accessing the DOT’s travel information map at www.dot.nd.gov.
