Ontario Provincial Police are once again advising people to stay off the roads if you don’t have to travel as highways around the province continue to experience problems
“It is still a pretty challenging day outside of the GTA and wherever you’re travelling, if you have to travel, understand how quickly conditions can change,” OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said. “We are still asking people to eliminate or stop unnecessary travel. I know it’s Christmas, but I just don’t want people getting stuck waiting for help because it could be sometime before it arrives.”
Some of those problems began to ease up Sunday afternoon, but conditions remain treacherous in many areas. “We are struggling to get to those calls for service and obviously we do need to get the highways open for everyone, but obviously the priorities are for emergency response – paramedics and fire.”
He advised people to check road conditions and closures along their entire route before heading out if they do have to drive.
