PennDOT reduces speed limits, drivers urged to use caution
Friday's bad weather dumped 2-3 inches of snow overnight and led to multiple school closures and delays, as well as vehicle crashes throughout Butler County. The wintry blast has also led state officials to reduce the speed on Interstate 80. Motorists are urged to postpone unnecessary travel.
PennDOT is temporarily reducing the speed limit on Interstate 80 in Butler, Clarion and Jefferson counties to 45 mph due to this mornings severe weather conditions. Commercial vehicles are also restricted to the right (travel) lane while this reduction is in place.
Drivers are also urged to clear all snow and ice from a vehicle before driving. This provides an unobstructed view for the driver and eliminates the possibility of snow or ice falling from your vehicle and causing a roadway hazard.
