The Doylestown Township Police Department is warning motorists to exercise extreme caution while driving due to icy road conditions. A winter storm has brought freezing temperatures and precipitation to our area, resulting in hazardous travel conditions.

Roads throughout the township are reported to be icy, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and in shaded areas. Black ice is also a concern, making it difficult to spot hazardous areas.

To ensure your safety and the safety of others, please:

• Slow down and increase your following distance
• Use low gear when driving uphill
• Avoid sudden turns or hard braking
• Keep a safe distance from snowplows and salt trucks
• Keep your vehicle's headlights on to increase visibility

If you must travel, please check the latest road conditions before heading out. We urge everyone to prioritize their safety and consider postponing non-essential travel until the roads improve.

Stay safe, and stay informed. For updates on road conditions and weather alerts, follow the Doylestown Township Police Department's social media channels and website.

Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility. Let's work together to stay safe on our roads.
