When
driving
in
the
Alpine
Region,
the
RTA
has
identified
possible
snow
and
ice
risk
sections
with
yellow
lane
line
marking
and
signposting.
-
Snow
and
ice
risk
sections
have
been
identified
on
the
approaches
to
and
within
the
National
Park,
and
the
RTA
recommends
that
all
vehicles
carry
chains
in
these
areas.
-
All
two
wheel
drive
vehicles
entering
the
Kosciuszkio
National
Park
must
carry
chains.
When
directed
by
signs
or
an
authorised
officer,
fit
the
chains
to
the
vehicles
driving
wheels
(back
wheels
on
rear
wheel
drive
cars
and
front
wheels
on
front
wheel
drive
cars).
Generally,
this
will
be
at
special
chain
fitting
bays
along
the
route.
-
While
four
wheel
drive
vehicles
may
not
be
required
to
fit
chains,
it
is
still
wise
to
carry
them
if
you
lack
experience
driving
on
ice
and
snow.
You
may
also
need
them
in
the
event
of
extreme
weather
conditions.
-
Make
sure
the
chains
you
buy
or
hire
are
suitable
for
the
wheel
diameter
and
tyre
size
of
your
vehicle.
If
possible,
have
a
practice
fitting
in
your
garage
before
the
journey
so
that
you
understand
how
to
fit
the
chains
and
won't
be
placed
in
a
difficult
situation
in
bad
weather
conditions.
-
Tyre
pressure
should
be
25
kPa
higher
when
using
chains.
Tyre
manufactures
recommend
that
cars
with
radial
tyres
shouldn't
travel
faster
than
40
km/h
when
fitted
with
chains.
Stop
and
check
the
tension
of
the
chains
after
driving
about
200
metres.
-
Remove
the
chains
immediately
when
you
are
told
it's
safe
to
do
so.
