‘Slow down and move over’: ODOT issues warning before next winter storm after multiple plows struck
Seventeen plows have been hit this winter. ODOT said that’s an unacceptable number.“When you see our plow trucks out, don’t think of it as a plow truck. Think of it as someone with a family, someone with kids with a mom and dad. They are trying to get home to their family. They’re trying to get home from their job just as you are commuting to your job,” said Ray Marsch, an ODOT spokesperson.
ODOT asks people to slow down and move over. Give the plows room to work, at least a few car lengths. “Once it turns into that snow or freezing rain, hey, we’re going to hop into those plows and start pretreating. We’re going to be putting down a lot more material than we typically would,” said Marsch. “Anytime there’s rain before the snow, we can pretreat the roads because the rain will just wash away the salt, the brine. We’re not going to be able to preheat ahead of that storm,” said Marsch.Copyright 2022 WOIO. All rights reserved.
