Sheriff’s Office Travel Advisory for Allegany County – THE WELLSVILLE SUN

Attention: All residents and travelers in Allegany County

Due to ongoing weather conditions, roads across Allegany County have become increasingly snow/ice covered and extremely slippery.

Here are some important guidelines to ensure your safety:

1. Drive Slowly: Reduce your speed to maintain control of your vehicle. Slippery roads can cause unexpected skidding.

2. Increase Following Distance: Keep a greater distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you to allow for extra stopping time.

3. Avoid Sudden Movements: Make gradual turns and gentle stops to prevent losing control.

4. Use Headlights: Ensure your headlights are on to improve visibility for yourself and others.

5. Stay Informed: Keep updated with local weather reports and road conditions.

6. Emergency Kit: Carry an emergency kit in your vehicle, including blankets, food, water, and a first-aid kit.

7. Public Transport: Consider using public transportation if available and safe.

Stay safe and exercise caution while traveling. If you can, avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
