Rehoboth Beach officials have activated emergency snow routes ahead of Sunday night’s winter storm that’s expected to bring accumulating snowfall to the coastal city.
City Manager authority has been used to designate specific streets as emergency corridors to ensure snow plows can operate effectively and emergency responders can navigate the city safely during the weather event.
Starting at 9pm this Sunday, February 22nd, motorists will be banned from parking on three key roadways until city crews finish their snow clearing work.
The parking prohibition takes effect at 9pm Sunday, Feb. 22 on Rehoboth Avenue, Bayard Avenue, and State Road. The ban stays in place until snow removal crews complete their work.
City officials have outlined several requirements while the emergency declaration remains active:
- All parking is banned on both sides of Rehoboth Ave., Bayard Ave., and State Road
- Any vehicles left in these areas will face tickets and towing costs paid by the owner
- City residents should park in their driveways or find other off-street locations
- All drivers must give right-of-way to snow plows and emergency responders
- Blocking or interfering with snow removal work is not allowed
- Homeowners should ensure fire hydrants remain clear and reachable
