• Once the snow emergency plan is activated for a particular county, abandoned vehicles will be towed immediately

• If you have to drive, ensure you are driving a vehicle equipped for snow travel

• Do not abandon your vehicle on a snow emergency route (interstate, Maryland or US route) without notifying Maryland State Police or the police agency responsible for that roadway

• If you have called a private tow to remove your vehicle, notify the Maryland State Police to avoid resources being dispatched to remove it

• If you are involved in a collision, move your vehicle from the travel portion of the roadway if possible and contact Maryland State Police

• Give snow plows room to work and do not try to pass a plow train

• If your vehicle is towed, contact the barrack or local police agency where it was abandoned with a full description (make, model, tag number and exact location)
