Motorists Encouraged to Stay Off All Roads

ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan this evening has ordered the immediate closure of the entire 34.7-mile length of I-270 and I-70 from I-81 in Washington County to the Baltimore Beltway. The highways will remain closed until 7 a.m. on Sunday to all motorists except for emergency personnel. The closures follow snow related traffic incidents involving several tractor trailers and other vehicles on both interstates.

“As the state continues to fiercely fight Snow Storm Jonas, I want the citizens of Maryland to know that the state is taking every step necessary to ensure their safety,” said Governor Hogan. “Closing I-70and I-270 will give us the time needed to deploy all our resources to clear these essential interstates as quickly as possible as we prepare to get our transportation network back up and running. I am urging all Marylanders to stay off every road in the state, whether it’s the interstate or a local road. Stay safe and stay at home while crews do their jobs.”


“Please stay home where you are safe and give us the time and space to our jobs,” said Maryland transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn. “We can clear snow and ice on an empty highway much faster than one littered with cars and tractor trailers.”

A reader asked: “Hi. Do you know if Carroll Co. is under Phase III snow plan?”

A reader asked: “Hi. Do you know if Carroll Co. is under Phase III snow plan?”

Early evening, Saturday, Jan. 24, 2016

No, in the entire state, only Baltimore City has declared a Phase Three snow emergency.

A phase three only permits emergency vehicles only on the roads. Actually folks have very cooperative and have stayed off the roads - so we really have not had to declare a phase three...

To the best of my knowledge, we are in phase two:  Requires that vehicles have snow tires, all weather radials, or chains. Police citations are issued to those without appropriate tires. Parking is prohibited on designated Snow Emergency Routes. Snow emergency routes are clearly marked and vehicles parked along these designated roadways during a snow emergency will be ticketed and towed. 

So far folks have really been cooperative and stayed-off the roads and that has been a huge help.

Stop and think, you go out for any reason – even a good reason and have a problem; say, you slip and fall or have a medical problem or you are in your vehicle, and even though you are an experienced driver in heavy snow conditions – and you have a problem – emergency responder are having a difficult time responding.


In several situations, the emergency response equipment and the snow plows have gotten stuck in the snow trying to respond to medical and fire emergencies. Stay at home – preferably on the couch… LOL Just saying.
