Winter is coming in Illinois and whether it’s the cold or the snow there are some things you should do to prepare yourself, your home, your car and your pets.
Here are a series of tips offered by the Illinois Tollway to keep drivers safe:
-If drivers’ vehicles become disabled on area tollways, they are urged to activate their hazard lights and to call *999 from their phone to receive assistance from Illinois State Police. -Real-time information on pavement conditions and roadway incidents are available on the Twitter accounts of the individual tollways, or on the Tollway’s website.-Be sure to fully charge your cell phone.-Keep a cold weather safety kit that includes gloves, boots, blankets, road flares, water and a flashlight.While humans aren’t exactly huge fans of snowy and icy weather, our pets aren’t either.
-Dogs and cats are susceptible to frostbite, and owners are urged to check their foot pads when they come inside and to wash them with warm towels.-Honk your horn before starting the ignition of any vehicles parked outdoors, as feral cats and wild animals will sometimes seek shelter in a car’s warm engine block.
