Safety Corner
Winter driving
» Check your vehicle’s fluid, brakes, tires and first aid kit to ensure you are prepared for winter driving.
» German law states that winter or all-season tires must have a minimum of
4 millimeter tread instead of the old law, which required 1.2 millimeter tread.
» Remove all ice from windshields prior to vehicle movement.
» Do not drive using a “peep-hole” through the frost.
» Operational Risk Management — Take a mental time-out before getting in your vehicle.
» If you must travel, leave early to alleviate tension and rushing.
» Watch for black ice and slow down when appropriate.
» Slow down in congested areas such as base housing.

Roadway reconstruction
Reconstruction of the Kisling roadway and ramp will take place until Nov. 26. The work includes Kisling Road from the traffic circle to the Kisling roadway exit to Landstuhl/Ramstein (L363). The ramp reconstruction will be on the east side of L363 — on ramp to Kisling from Landstuhl/off ramp from Kisling to Ramstein. The Kisling ramp closure will detour traffic heading north on L363, from Landstuhl, to the traffic circle at L356, then east on L356 to the traffic circle at Kindsbacher Strasse, then south to the Ramstein West Gate circle. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Kisling Road at all times. Additional traffic delays of up to 10 minutes or more can be expected.
