PennDOT has lifted the speed limit restrictions that were in place on several expressways in the region.Due to the winter storm impacting the region, speed limits were reduced Monday to 45 mph on all interstates and several other expressways in north eastern Pennsylvania. All speeds are restored to their usual posted limits.PennDOT is continuing to treat roadways in the area and will continue until roads are clear.The department asks motorists to allow plenty of space when driving near plow trucks. Also, for their own safety and the safety of plow operators, motorists should never attempt to pass a truck while it is plowing or spreading winter materials.Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 770 traffic cameras.511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1 or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.For more winter driving tips and information on how PennDOT treats winter storms, visit www.PennDOT.gov/winter.Follow PennDOT on Twitter at www.twitter.com/511PANortheast, and follow the department on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pennsylvaniadepartmentoftransportation and Instagram at www.instagram.com/pennsylvaniadot.
