Idaho State Police reported slick conditions on Interstate 15. Multiple slide offs have been reported. The following are some tips to avoid a winter car accident in Idaho.
Slow and steady wins the race; especially when driving in snow and ice. It is always a good idea to check road and weather conditions before you leave. You can also call 5-1-1 for travel information. Drive on main routes and make sure you are well rested and alert when driving.
Tell someone where you are going and remember cell phone coverage is not available in many remote areas in Oregon. Make someone aware of your routes. If you plans change, let someone know.
Oregon chain laws apply to all roads and highways. Watch for signs indicating when chains or snow tires are required. Chains include link and cable chains as well as other devices that attach to the vehicle, wheel, or outside of the tire that are designed to increase traction. Studded tires can only be used between November 1 and April 1 in Oregon. In some areas, four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles may be exempt from the use of chains.
During the winter in Idaho, you will encounter snowplows and sanding trucks. Make sure you do not flow a plow or sander too closely. These large vehicles need room! Also, do not pass a plow or sander. Sometimes a plow works side-by-side with another plow to get the roads clear faster.
