Lincoln Police are reminding you to take your time and allow extra time to get to your destination during winter weather conditions.

Also, give yourself extra space on the road between you and other vehicles. Give first responders plenty of space to operate and don’t follow too close to those road crews or emergency vehicles. Make sure you can see through your windshield by using a scraper to clear it and turn on windshield wipers.
