'In areas of the state where they’re expecting 10 to potentially 12 inches of snow or more, it will take us longer to get the roads cleared with that amount of snow.'
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Ohio Department of Transportation officials are asking drivers to stay off the roads when the winter storm hits Northeast Ohio Sunday evening, so their plow and salt trucks have room to work.
“Travel tonight through Monday is going to be treacherous,” said Matt Bruning, with ODOT. “It’s not a lack of preparation. It’s not a lack of effort. It’s just Mother Nature will win in a snowstorm like this when we’re seeing snowfall rates of 2 inches per hour. So you’re going to have a plan ahead.”
Bruning said last winter a total of 46 plows were struck by other drivers and so far this winter seven trucks have been hit. “All of those crashes are totally preventable. And when they happen, it really hampers our ability to get these roads cleared because we have to take that plow-out service,” said Bruning.“So in areas of the state where they’re expecting 10 to potentially 12 inches of snow or more, it will take us longer to get the roads cleared with that amount of snow.
As a reminder for winter driving, the Ohio law requires headlights to be on anytime your windshield wipers are on.
