Sedalia residents are reminded that Emergency Snow Routes will be put into effect when more than two inches of snow/sleet/ice accumulate over a 24-hour period.

The National Weather Service as issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the area, and 2-5 inches of snowfall are expected in the Sedalia area until Wednesday, January 10.

Emergency Snow Routes help improve traffic flow after a snowstorm or significant icing by declaring a parking ban along the designated routes to expedite snow or ice clearing. Parking is prohibited along Emergency Snow Routes once the snow emergency occurs. During recent Emergency Snow Events, plowing has been impeded by cars continuing to be parked along the snow emergency routes. Failure to remove cars during a snow emergency can result in the cars being towed at the owner’s expense. The Street crews work to keep these designated streets as clear as possible to allow for emergency vehicle use.

The map above details which city streets are designated Emergency Snow Routes as well as those designated by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). The map can also be located on the City’s website.
