Tips from the Tigard Police...
- Tigard Police advise drivers to carry chains and be prepared for winter weather driving such as unexpected snowfall or ice.
- If your vehicle gets stuck, try to move it completely off the roadway, use the emergency flashers and call for a tow. Vehicles left on the shoulder may create a hazard for other drivers.
- Do not abandon your vehicle in the traffic right-of-way. Police have an obligation to protect life and property by keeping the roads clear (including traffic shoulders) so that other traffic can keep moving. Any vehicle left in the right-of-way could create a hazard.
- If your vehicle is obstructing traffic in any way, it could be towed. A citation and a tow fee usually accompany police tows, increasing the inconvenience to motorists.
Winter weather brings icy winds and dipping temperatures which can do a lot of damage to your home by freezing pipes and leaving you without flowing water.
