White Christmas on its way in Montreal
The crew and machinery is expected to be out until Saturday as snow continues to fall but Sabourin is asking for people’s help.
“Drivers must park their car away from their sidewalk,” Sabourin warned. “Keep a distance of 30 centimetres between your car and the curb. This way you’re providing spaces for the crew of Montreal to be more efficient.”Meanwhile, the Canadian Automobile Association is asking drivers to slow down and keep an appropriate distance.
“People tend to drive like it’s summer all year long,” said David Marcille, CAA’s spokesperson. “Do not be distracted, pay attention to the road and make sure you have at least six seconds of distance with the vehicle in front of you.”Marcille also advises your vehicle is equipped for winter weather. He says drivers should make sure to have wiper fluid in their car, a snow brush, a shovel and salt.
“Before leaving with your car, make sure you brush off all the snow — not only the windows, including the top of the vehicle,” said Marcille. “You can get pulled over for having too much snow in your vehicle and that can be expensive and it’s dangerous for other drivers too.”
