Residents in Suffolk County are largely honoring the travel ban imposed by County Executive Ed Romaine on Sunday, police said. Suffolk officers have not had to rescue stranded motorists. There were four active crashes reported by late morning, less than normal for a typical Monday.
It was not clear late Monday morning if Suffolk police had issued any tickets related to travel ban violations.
Romaine issued the travel ban on Sunday but has extended it to 3 p.m. Monday.
“It’s never an easy decision,” Romaine said in a statement. “However, safety is the number one concern and it was important for us to keep the roads clear for our plows and, of course, for everybody’s safety.”
