MANKATO (KMKO) --Being alert, aware and responsive are helpful tips to safe driving.

Officials are diligently working in extreme weather conditions to improve city streets, so motorists should be cautious in work zones and allow room for them to work safely. Construction works are asking drivers to be patient and cautious when driving through detoured roads because they are usually in neighborhoods that are unaccustomed to heavy traffic.
