Speed Limit Restored on Expressways in Philadelphia Region
2/16/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
PennDOT has lifted the speed limit restrictions that were in place on
several
expressways in the Philadelphia region.
Due to the winter storm impacting the region, speed limits were reduced
Monday,
February 15, to 45 mph on all interstates and several other expressways in
the
Philadelphia region. All speeds are restored to their usual posted limits.
PennDOT is continuing to treat roadways in the area and will continue until
roads are clear.
The department asks motorists to allow plenty of space when driving near
plow
trucks. Also, for their own safety and the safety of plow operators,
motorists
should never attempt to pass a truck while it is plowing or spreading
winter
materials.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including
color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com.
511PA,
which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay
warnings,
weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 770
traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and
Android
devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts
