• ***Snow Emergency Route*** The Havre de Grace Police would like to take this opportunity to remind citizens of the importance of keeping our designated snow emergency routes clear of parked vehicles during times of snow emergency plan activation. The Maryland State Highway Administration is responsible for activating the snow emergency plans and is responsible to plow these designated routes. During a declared snow emergency your vehicle should not be parked on any designated Snow Emergency Route. If your vehicle inhibits the plowing process or otherwise inhibits the safe passage along these routes we may tow vehicles on the snow emergency route. The towing of vehicles will only occur in order to ensure the safe passage of emergency vehicles along these routes. The Route is Revolution Street to Union Avenue to Otsego Street and can be seen in the attached picture. From the Havre de Grace City Code in regards to a snow emergency: § 190-41 Travel and parking. A. A person may not drive or attempt to drive a motor vehicle on any street that is designated and appropriately sign-posted as a snow emergency street during the period in which a snow emergency has been declared and is in effect unless the vehicle is equipped with chains or snow tires, as defined by state motor vehicle laws, on at least one wheel at each end of a driving axle. B. A person may not park a vehicle on any street, or on any side of or portion of any street, that is designated and appropriately sign-posted as a snow emergency street during the period in which a snow emergency has been declared and is in effect. The City police may have any vehicle which is parked in violation of this article towed from the street and stored, and the cost of such towing and storage shall be paid by the owner.
