conditions can be obtained at www.gettingaroundillinois.com. In Missouri, the latest road conditions can be obtained at
traveler.modot.org/map or by calling 1-888-275-6636.

Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden
changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.

It only takes a small amount of sleet to make roads, bridges, sidewalks and parking lots icy and dangerous. Plan for a slow trip
and use caution when approaching turns, bridges and overpasses. Remain alert for rapid changes in road conditions.
