Winter Storm Warning Triggers PA Turnpike and PennDOT Travel Restrictions
PennLive.com reports, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and PennDOT have imposed vehicle and speed restrictions because a winter storm warning is in effect across much of the northern portion of the state. The restrictions (which include a ban on double trailers, empty trailers, non-commercial vehicles pulling trailers, recreational vehicles and motorcycles) are currently in effect on the turnpike’s Northeast Extension north of the Pocono/White Haven exit, on I-81 north of the I-80 junction, on I-84 and on I-380, but they could be expanded as the storm develops.
