There are several tips to help avoid potential falls while walking on icy roads. Some of these include wearing appropriate winter clothing such as sturdy shoes with good traction and non-slip soles, watching out for patches of black ice, maintaining a slow, steady pace, keeping your arms away from the body to reduce wind resistance and improve balance, and exercising extra caution around corners and curves where ice may be more treacherous. You should also remember to stay in the thickest part of the roadway so that you can better see any hazards ahead. Finally, if possible it is best to avoid walking whenever possible by utilizing public transportation or having someone else drive you instead.

1. Wear suitable footwear - make sure your shoes or boots have good traction to reduce the risk of falling.
2. Walk in the shoulder of the road, away from traffic, where it is most likely less icy and snow covered.
3. Always be alert and prepared for potential slips - be aware of where you are walking at all times and brace yourself if necessary.
4. Use caution on bridge approaches or areas that typically accumulate ice longer than other areas on the roads.
5. Hold onto a railings or another solid object if available to keep balance if you find yourself slipping accidentally.-
