Winter *weather* is coming. (We know it's cliche to say that, but it's true.)
The report also indicated winter-related crashes last winter were up by 62% statewide compared to the previous winter.
“It’s important to take the steps before the winter weather gets here," Purpura said. “Plan ahead if you need to go somewhere, don’t try and leave at the last minute, build yourself in some extra time.” The bulletin showed that Cuyahoga County had 1,605 winter-related crashes last winter, from Dec. 1, 2020, through March 2021. Columbus and Franklin County recorded 975 winter-related crashes, and Cincinnati and Hamilton County recorded 819 winter-related crashes during the same time period.
“Just because it says 60 miles per hour on the roadways in Cuyahoga County and around Cleveland, doesn’t mean 60 miles per hour is appropriate, it may be necessary to go slower," Purpura said."Just remember that the overpasses will freeze first when the temperature gets below freezing.”
