Road conditions remain hazardous in local areas

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – If you’re thinking of heading out this morning, you may want to remain cautious.

Since snow began falling, local emergency management groups and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 are warning drivers to adjust driving behavior if you must go out.

Around 8:40 a.m., Warren County Emergency Management said snowfall created hazardous conditions again, saying one simple message: “If you don’t have to be out, please stay in.”

If you must drive today, slow down, increase your following distance and turn on your headlights.

Marcus Thurman of Glasgow-Barren County Emergency Management says as of around 1:30 p.m., main roads and state roads are ok to drive on in Barren County. Thurman says county and city roads are improving but still being treated.

Kentucky State Police trooper Daniel Priddy also confirms roads have spots of ice and snow. He says to use caution if you are traveling today.

Crews are out in both areas plowing, so please keep a distance of 100 feet or more from the back of the trucks.
