Motorists Reminded: Don't Crowd the Plow & Avoid Street Parking Motorists Reminded: Don't Crowd the Plow & Avoid Street Parking

2/26/13 - With a winter storm headed for the Livingston County area, local motorists are advised to use caution if out and about. A winter storm is expected to result in some messy travel conditions later today and overnight. Managing Director of the Livingston County Road Commission Mike Craine tells WHMI they’re taking a wait and see approach because while reported accumulation totals have varied, the storm track appears to be consistent. He says it’s expected to be a wet, heavy snow but how much of a rain/snow mix remains to be seen. Craine reminds that local motorists practice good driving habits in winter weather conditions and “don’t crowd the plow”. Meanwhile, residents and motorists in the City of Howell are being asked to avoid on-street parking in anticipation of the winter storm. Howell Police Chief George Basar says once an emergency is declared, any vehicles found parked on City streets are subject to being towed but he says they try to be reasonable when it comes to enforcement. Basar also reminds that once a snow emergency is declared, it remains in effect until officially rescinded. You tune in to WHMI 93.5FM for complete up-to-date weather and traffic details. (JM)
