Drivers are advised to exercise increased caution when navigating rural routes. Reducing speed, avoiding distractions, and remaining vigilant for potential hazards such as wildlife or debris can help minimize the risk of accidents. Proper vehicle maintenance is also essential for safe driving in remote areas.
