The Ohio Attorney General Opinion 86-023
allows a county sheriff to declare a snow emergency and temporarily close
county and township roads within his jurisdiction for the preservation of
the public peace.
LEVEL 1: Roadways are hazardous with
blowing and drifting snow. Roads are also icy. Drive very cautiously.
LEVEL 2: Roadways are hazardous with
blowing and drifting snow. Only those who feel it is necessary to drive
should be out on the roadways. Contact your employer to see if you should
report to work.
LEVEL 3: All roadways are closed to
non-emergency personnel. No one should be out during these conditions unless
it is absolutely necessary to travel. All employees should contact their
employer to see if they should report to work. However, those traveling on
the roadways may subject themselves to prosecution.
