Mountain and northern routes deserve extra margin
Conditions can change rapidly and services may be sparse.
General travel-planning information only. Drivers must follow licence restrictions, traffic laws and current road-authority directions. Do not continue driving when fatigued or when weather, closures or road conditions make the trip unsafe.
