Commercial Vehicle Ban In Effect
Governor Phil Murphy has declared a State of Emergency, and the NJ State Police have issued their own Commercial Vehicle Ban.
What exactly does that mean for you?
As of 8pm last night (March 20) there is 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.
TL;DR: stay off the roads.
