CLEVELAND - The Ohio Department of Transportation is ready for another round of winter weather.
60 crews will take to the roads in Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga Counties tonight to battle the incoming snow.
ODOT forces will be staffed around-the-clock through the duration of this storm and crews will be adjusted as needed.
Because there is more than sufficient salt residue remaining on ODOT-maintained routes from the last snow event, crews will not be pretreating the roadways.
As always, follow these tips for safe travel:
· KNO B4 U GO: Before leaving home, find out about driving conditions by going to ODOT’s premier website www.BuckeyeTraffic.org . Also, follow ODOT on Facebook and Twitter.
· See and be Seen: Remove any snow on your vehicle’s windows, lights, brake lights and signals.
· Turn on your Lights: If you need to turn on your wipers, turn on your headlights. It’s the law.
· Don’t Crowd the Plow: Look for the green-colored strobe lights on the snowplow trucks and give them plenty of room to work.
· In Ice & Snow… Take it SLOW!
