Road conditions across the Southern region
Southern District Police are urging all motorists to take care while driving and to delay non-essential travel as much as possible.
From black ice in Invercargill, to snow in Dunedin and Central Otago, road conditions are less than ideal across the district.
Motorists should check out their local council websites and the NZTA website for more information on road conditions and closures.
Top tips for the road if you need to travel:
Reduce your
speed
Increase following distance
Ensure all windows
are clear from ice/snow before driving
Use snow chains
where necessary
If you have to brake, gently press your
brakes rather than slamming them
on
