Full Notification

A yellow level Travel Advisory has been issued for unincorporated roads in Hamilton County, effective Friday afternoon, January 13, until further notice. This is the lowest level of local travel advisory and means that routine travel or activities may be restricted in areas because of a hazardous situation. Individuals should use caution or avoid those areas. Unincorporated roads are those roads maintained by Hamilton County, usually roads outside cities and towns.

The National Weather Service has Hamilton County under a Freezing Rain Advisory from 7PM Friday until 1PM on Sunday so the travel advisory was issued in anticipation of slippery roads. Watch carefully as portions of what may appear to be dry pavement can quickly turn into icy patches. Elevated roads such as overpasses and bridges tend to freeze first. Ice accumulation up to .20 inch is possible.

As a reminder with winter driving, reduce speeds, leave extra room between vehicles, make sure all windows are clear of snow and ice, turn on lights to increase visibility even during the day, and make sure to keep an emergency kit along with a fully charged cell phone handy. In case of a slide off or crash, contact Hamilton County Public Safety Communications at 317-773-1282 or 9-1-1 for an emergency.
