Police in Regina were diverting backed-up traffic off Ring Road Saturday afternoon.
This comes after multiple vehicles slid into the ditch on Ring Road north of Ross Avenue.
Traffic was backed up on Ring Road to the Victoria Avenue overpass.
RCMP highly encourage drivers to check the weather and road conditions before hitting the road.
RCMP say if you are on the highway and have to stop, pull over to the right shoulder if it’s possible and safe and don’t block intersections.
If you become stranded or stopped roadside, RCMP urge you to:
- Always stay with your vehicle
- Stay warm. Periodically turn your vehicle on, be mindful of your fuel and battery.
- Make sure your tailpipe remains clear of ice and snow, or carbon monoxide could seep into your vehicle.
- Periodically lower your window slightly on the side of your vehicle that is downwind to allow fresh air into the vehicle.
If possible, the RCMP recommend delaying travel.
