Winter Roadside Safety Tips for Troy Drivers

Winter in Troy, MI brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures that can make driving on Big Beaver Road, M-59, and Rochester Road more dangerous. Preparing your vehicle and knowing what to do in an emergency can keep you and your passengers safe.

Follow these practical tips for safe winter driving:

• Keep a winter emergency kit in your car: blankets, water, snacks, flashlight, and extra gloves.
• Check tire tread depth and pressure before every winter drive.
• Drive slower than usual and maintain extra distance from other vehicles on snow or ice.
• Keep your phone charged and have a local Troy towing number saved for emergencies.
• If stranded, stay inside your vehicle and call for help immediately.
• Carry sand, kitty litter, or traction mats to help if your car slips on ice.
