Leave yourself plenty of time to travel in the morning due to the forecast & check the conditions before heading out.
There are many places to do this.

Check out a couple of options in the comments

❄️There's widespread black ice across Ōtepoti Dunedin this morning. Please take care on the roads and footpaths. Our contractors are out checking and treating main roads as required.

🚚 Here's a map of the roads that are typically treated: www.dunedin.govt.nz/gritting

🚗You can find road conditions on our website, these are updated early each morning: www.dunedin.govt.nz/road-conditions

🥶 Need an ice scraper? Grab a free one (while stocks last) from one of our DCC service centres.

🍌 While gritting and de-icing can help reduce the impact of ice, they won’t prevent you taking a slide, so please be cautious. Take care out there whānau.
