Winter Weather Information
============================================
DOT preparing to treat City Streets
The Charlotte Department of Transportation is on stand-by to treat City streets for ice, snow and winter weather in a Condition "B" if conditions warrant. Thirty-one trucks and crews are ready to report at 5:00 a.m. and work through out the day. During a Condition "B", CDOT concentrates on major and minor thoroughfares, emergency locations such as entrances to hospitals and assistance to Police, Fire, and Medic, then works on residential collector streets, bus routes and school locations.
Drivers are cautioned to slow down, avoid sudden stops and starts. Leave plenty of following distance between vehicles. Please give road crews, large maintenance trucks and emergency vehicles the right of way. Drive safely and call 311 to report icing and/or flooding on bridges and streets.
