As flurries, snow showers and bone-chilling temperatures begin to take hold in the Chicago area, icy road conditions have already begun to pop up. Here’s how to check the road conditions near you before you head out.
• Take it slow, especially when approaching intersections, ramps, bridges and shaded areas that are prone to icing.• Keep a cell phone, warm clothes, blankets, food, water, a first-aid kit, washer fluid and an ice scraper in your vehicle.• Carry a cellphone and dial *999 in the Chicago area for assistance in case of emergency.

Exiting your vehicle into live traffic can have fatal consequences.IDOT provides regular updates on statewide road conditions at
