Haverford Under Snow Emergency Friday Night To Saturday Evening

HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, PA — Officials in Haverford Township are placing the township under a snow emergency Friday night through Saturday evening.

According to the township, the snow emergency will be in effect 10 p.m. Friday through 5 p.m. Saturday.

Below are rules residents must follow during a snow emergency:

• Parking a motor vehicle or allowing a motor vehicle to remain parked on any Snow Emergency Route — a full list of Snow Emergency Route roads is below;
• driving any vehicle on a Snow Emergency Route unless the vehicle is equipped with snow tires, chains, or other suitable traction devices;
• driving any vehicle that becomes stuck on any Snow Emergency Route during a Snow Emergency due to the failure to equip that vehicle with snow tires, chains, or other suitable traction devices.

Additionally, residents are responsible to clear snow, sleet, and ice from the sidewalks in front of their property no more than 24 hours after a storm.

When removing snow, residents are reminded to not put any snow in roads, streets, sidewalks, or alleys.

Parking in cul-de-sacs is discouraged, and anyone who must park in a cul-de-sac or leave your vehicle on or near a highway is required to notify the Haverford Township Police Department by calling 911.

Under normal conditions, it will take the township approximately 8 to 12 hours to complete the cleanup after the storm ends. The township's first goal is to open one lane of traffic in each direction on every road, then return to plow the snow back to the curb and expose storm inlets.

Residents should not clear the end of their driveways until the storm has ended and the township has plowed roads curb-to-curb.
