Snow zones implemented in Washington County
Three areas in Washington County have been designated as "
snow zones" - portions of roads where motorists are required by law to have studded tires, traction tires or tire chains on or in vehicles when traveling in severe weather.
The snow zone areas are:
- 175th Avenue, between Scholls Ferry and Rigert roads
- Barnes Road, from 118th Avenue east to the County line, adjacent to a city of Portland snow zone
- Cornell Road, from Cedar Hills Boulevard east to the County line
These areas have high elevations and steep grades. During icy and snowy weather conditions, vehicles without traction devices are more likely to be involved in crashes or have difficulty driving on slick surfaces. One vehicle can easily cause multiple crashes when not equipped for winter-weather travel.
