A reminder on new snow restrictions
The Delaware State News has a reminder today on the new state law that outlines 3 levels of snow restrictions available to Governor Markell during a heavy snow.
It is aimed at giving state leaders more flexibility and to clear up any misunderstandings as happened in some areas of the state last February.
Level 1: Driving warning. Drivers are discouraged from operating motor vehiciles unless there is a signifigant safety, health, or business reason to do so.
Level 2: Driving restriction: Travel on state roads is restricted to emergency workers, public utilities, and healthcare providers.
Level 3: Driving ban: Complete ban on driving except for first responders, utility personnel, and public or private snow removal. Businesses are asked to do adjust work schedules for employees.
