DOT Advisory

The Department advises the public to refrain from all but such absolutely necessary travel until midday Wednesday at the earliest.  If motorists must travel, please be patient with conditions and with one another and be extremely cautious.  Slow down considerably; allow extra distance between yourself and other vehicles, maintain a steady speed; avoid lane changing and sudden acceleration or braking; and never pass a Georgia DOT, contractor or local government truck treating the road.  Also, avoid driving during overnight hours as black ice will form on streets, roads and highways and is virtually impossible to detect in the dark.
