Winter Travel Advisory
The Michigan State Police urge motorists to check its Winter Travel Advisory before heading out on the roads. The advisory is available either on the website or by calling 1-800-381-8477. The advisory provides road conditions on state highways and is updated at least twice a day with information provided by police officers around the state. Police urge motorists to check the advisory rather than calling 911 for road conditions. Police also remind motorists that driving too fast for road conditions is the No.1 cause of traffic crashes during the winter.
