West Trenton, N.J. – Colonel Patrick J. Callahan has announced a
commercial vehicle travel ban due to the anticipated severity of the
impending nor’easter.
Effective tonight, Tuesday, March 20, at
8:00 p.m., there will be a commercial vehicle travel ban for the entire
length of following roadways:
· I-78
· I-80
· I-280
· I-287
The commercial vehicle travel ban applies to:
· All tractor-trailers
· Empty straight CDL-weighted trucks
· Passenger vehicles pulling trailers
· Recreational vehicles
· Motorcycles
Trucks already in New Jersey are encouraged to use truck stops or rest
areas during the ban. In order for road crews to effectively plow,
drivers should not park on shoulders.
Residents and motorists
should avoid driving unless you are an essential employee needed for
emergency response. If you do not have to be on the roads during the
storm, please stay home. If you must go out, drive slowly, fill your gas
tank, charge your phone, pack blankets, water and non-perishable food
items.
