Area residents driving home from work should plan ahead, take extra time, drive cautiously and always wear a seat belt, she said.MoDOT’s online traveler information map at www.modot.org is the best source of information for road conditions, displaying the condition of the major roads. Minor roads are not shown on the map, and tomorrow morning these can be expected to have some ice and slush.Customer service representatives are available 24/7 at 1-888-275-6636.Weather advisory
