Black ice poses a significant hazard during winter driving, as it is nearly invisible and often forms on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas. Please exercise caution by reducing your speed, increasing following distances, and avoiding sudden braking or steering. Stay alert to protect yourself and others on the road.
