Even after the restriction is lifted at noon, officials said roads are expected to remain dangerous due to lingering snow and ice.

Vehicle clearing required before driving

Police stressed that drivers who must travel are required to fully clear snow and ice from their vehicles before entering the roadway. That includes removing accumulation from windows, hood, roof, and lights.

Failure to properly clear a vehicle may result in a traffic summons under New Jersey motor vehicle laws, according to the department.

The warning comes as multiple crashes and disabled vehicles were reported across the region earlier in the morning, compounding delays and hazardous conditions during the storm.
