The Starke County Emergency Management Agency announced that Watch Travel Level advisory has been issued for Starke County roadways due to potentially dangerous conditions.
Starke County EMA Director J. Nier provided a release stating that all county roads maintained by the Starke County Highway Department could be snow or ice covered and hazardous winds may cause significant whiteout conditions and drifting.
The advisory was issued to warn those who must travel on Starke County roadways to use extreme caution due to weather conditions that will reduce visibility, narrow travel lanes and make driving extremely hazardous.
A Watch Travel Level advisory restricts travel on county roadways to essential travel only, such as for emergency situations and to get to and from work.
If you do not need to travel, please stay where you are. If you must travel, use main roads whenever possible. Travel at a reduced speed, remain alert for changing road conditions and expect to encounter potentially dangerous conditions.
