As winter enthusiasts prepare for a snowy weekend, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issues a friendly reminder to the public that snow play activities are strictly prohibited in Rest Areas, alongside highways, on-ramps, or off-ramps.
While the winter wonderland beckons, it’s crucial to adhere to safety regulations and respect the designated areas provided for snow-related activities. Caltrans emphasizes that engaging in snow play along highways poses risks to both participants and motorists, leading to potential accidents and traffic hazards.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, individuals seeking snowy adventures are encouraged to explore the numerous designated areas specifically designated for snow play. These areas are equipped to handle increased foot traffic and offer appropriate amenities for a fun and secure experience.
