Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
Likewise, drivers must be using winter tires and could face a fine if they fail to do so.
You can check if you have winter tires by seeing if they have either the Mountain Snowflake symbol or the Mud and Snow (M+S) symbol. They must be in good condition and have at least a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.
If caught without proper winter tires on these designated routes, the fine is $121. Furthermore, if you don’t have minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm, get ready to fork out another $109.
