Snow Closures

The snow emergency will remain in effect until an announcement is made that it has been lifted. Motorists are asked to tune into television and radio broadcast stations or go to snow.dc.gov for a notice that the snow emergency has been lifted.

Useful tips:

If a snow emergency is declared, DO NOT park your car on Snow Emergency Routes (SERs).

Red and white Snow Emergency Route signs generally are posted higher on the pole than the other signs, so look up to the top of the pole to make sure you are parked legally.

Parking is banned on these routes to allow unimpeded curb-to-curb salting or plowing.

To locate a towed vehicle, please call (202) 541-6083.
