Southern district Police are urging all motorists and truck drivers to take care while driving and to delay non-essential travel as much as possible.
From black ice in Invercargill, to snow in Dunedin, and Central Otago, road conditions are less than ideal across the district say Police.
Police advise that motorists and truck drivers should check out their local council websites, and the NZTA website for more information on road conditions and closures.
Police say that if people need to travel, they should reduce speed, increase following distance, ensure all windows are clear from ice and snow before driving, use snow chains where necessary, and when braking, press gently rather than slamming them on.
