Westchester County, NY – A complete road ban begins at 9 p.m. Sunday across Westchester County, restricting travel overnight due to hazardous winter weather conditions.
According to the Westchester County Police Department, the ban follows guidance from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. The restriction remains in effect until 10 a.m. Monday.
Officials said roads will be closed to all but essential travel, including police, fire, EMS, utility crews, public works teams, and hospital or medical personnel. The measure is intended to allow emergency responders and road treatment crews to operate safely during the storm.
Heavy snowfall and high winds are expected overnight, creating treacherous travel conditions across the county. Authorities warned that conditions may be particularly dangerous during overnight hours as snow accumulates and visibility decreases.
Residents are urged to remain off the roads for the duration of the ban unless travel is essential. Officials emphasized that limiting traffic will help speed snow removal efforts and reduce the risk of crashes or stranded vehicles.
The restriction may affect late-night commuters, overnight workers, and students traveling early Monday morning. Motorists are advised to monitor official county channels for updates before heading out.
No additional details were immediately released regarding potential extensions.
