Police are urging motorists to take care on roads this morning due to a number of incidents where cars have slid on the road due to ice.
Motorists need to ensure they drive to the conditions and reduce their speed where necessary.
Police are urging particular caution on the Desert Highway and State Highway 5, both north and south of Rotorua.
With the expected increase of vehicles on the road throughout today, motorists should look to plan their journey early and leave plenty of time to get to their destination.
