A MESSAGE FROM IDOT – Governor Pat Quinn today announced measures being taken by Illinois state agencies to prepare for the extreme cold and additional snowfall that is forecast for the next several days. IDOT and the Illinois Tollway have their crews working around the clock to keep roads clear and passable. Motorists are urged to drive defensively and safely, travel only if absolutely necessary, slow down and buckle up. Other roadway safety tips to remember: • Don’t crowd snowplows – an operator’s field of vision is restricted. • Allow extra time for travel. • Watch out for black ice on roads that appear clear. Slow down when approaching intersections, off ramps, bridges and shady areas -- all are prone to black ice, which is often invisible. • Pull over and dial *999 for emergency roadway assistance.
