PennDOT, in lieu of today’s winter weather event, has enacted Tier 2 vehicle restrictions throughout the majority of the Interstates and major highways, including the entirety of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Under Tier 2, commercial vehicles towing loaded tandem trailers and all loaded or unloaded school buses are not permitted on the roadways, along with all vehicles under Tier 1 prohibition which include any and all school buses, motor coaches, commercial buses, RVs, motor homes, and motorcycles among others.

The entirety of Interstates 76, 376, 279, and 579 are under Tier 2, along with the section of Interstate 79 from West Virginia up to the Interstate 80 interchange.

Drivers that are allowed on the roadways are being urged to exercise caution and allow for space for drivers and plows along the highways.
