“Snow zones" are areas where traction devices are required in inclement weather. Signs say, "When Flashing, Chains or Snow Tires Required." We turn on the flashing lights during periods of inclement weather to alert motorists. Law enforcement may cite travelers who are seen violating snow zone requirements.
