1999 Sites of the Month

• December Site of the Month
  December often means inclement weather and increased holiday travel in Ohio. These two circumstances often result in hazardous driving conditions across the state. This month, Discover Ohio is featuring two sites created by the Ohio Department of Transportation to help motorists prepare for winter driving. Ohio Winter Driving – Survival Tips and Information provides advice on how to prepare for winter driving, how to drive safely in winter conditions, and what to do if stranded in a snow storm. ODOT’s Home Page features a Road and Weather section that allows motorists to access travel information by city, county, or region throughout the state. The helpful information on each of these sites can play a vital role in insuring that you enjoy safe traveling during the holiday season and throughout the winter. Happy holidays!
