Practice question · Speed and conditions

A snow emergency is declared. What should you use on a snow emergency route?

The rule

When a snow emergency is declared, roads marked as snow emergency routes need chains, snow tires or radial tires.

Once a snow emergency is declared, cars on snow emergency routes need chains, snow tires or radial tires.

From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 5, page 29. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
