Even with the travel advisory and health warnings many Americans still traveled by road during the Thanksgiving holiday. The Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving is usually one of the busiest travel days of the year. That wasn’t true this year, but a lot of Americans still took to the roads.
With the holiday season in full gear and with winter weather in the forecast, it’s a great opportunity to revisit Pennsylvania rules of the road. The Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement agencies are patrolling the roads to ensure motorists obey traffic laws. However, with so many laws on the books, it can be challenging for motorists to keep track of them all.
Appearing on Wednesday’s Smart Talk are Fritzi Schreffler, PennDOT District 8 Safety Press Officer and Corporal Brent Miller, Director, Communications Office, Pennsylvania State Police to discuss all your highway questions and safety concerns. Visit 511pa.com for live, updated traffic conditions.
