Travel Advisory Issued For Hamilton County. Recent Rains Freezing On Roads Creating Icy Conditions.
A yellow level Travel Advisory has been issued for unincorporated roads in Hamilton County, effective Saturday morning until further notice, due to falling temperatures freezing the recent rains. This is the lowest level of local travel advisory and means that routine travel or activities may be restricted in areas because of a hazardous situation. Individuals should use caution or avoid those areas. Unincorporated roads are those roads maintained by Hamilton County, usually roads outside cities and towns.
The National Weather Service is forecasting that temperatures will continue to drop throughout the weekend and any remaining precipitation on the roadways may cause slick areas. Watch carefully as portions of what may appear to be dry pavement can quickly turn into icy patches. Elevated roads such as overpasses and bridges tend to freeze first.
As a reminder with winter driving, reduce speeds, leave extra room between vehicles, make sure all windows are clear of snow and ice, turn on lights to increase visibility even during the day, and make sure to keep an emergency kit along with a fully charged cell phone handy. In case of a slide off or crash, contact Hamilton County Public Safety Communications at 317-773-1282 or 9-1-1 for an emergency.
