 A Travel Alert remains in effect due to areas of blowing snow and
reduced visibility. Cities included in the Travel Alert  are Valley City, Devils
Lake, Jamestown, Grand Forks, Grafton, Adams, Cavalier, Drayton, Pembina and
surrounding areas. A Travel Alert means conditions are such that motorists can still
travel in these areas, but should be advised of rapidly changing conditions.
Motorists are encouraged to reduce speeds and drive according to the conditions.

1. TRAVEL ALERT – Motorists can still travel but may encounter areas of challenging
winter weather driving conditions on roadways. Motorists should allow extra time to
reach their destination and be alert to conditions that may make travel difficult,
change rapidly, or cause travel delays. A TRAVEL ALERT has the potential to change
to a NO TRAVEL ADVISED if conditions deteriorate.

2. NO TRAVEL ADVISED – Motorists should not travel due to hazardous conditions which
may make it unsafe to travel. Snowplows may be pulled from the roads during severe
conditions. Motorists should take NO TRAVEL ADVISED seriously as those motorists who
choose to travel at their own risk may become stranded and emergency responders may
not be able to reach them safely. A NO TRAVEL ADVISED has the potential to change to
a ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED if conditions deteriorate.

3. ROAD CLOSED OR BLOCKED – Motorists are not allowed to travel on a closed road due
to life threatening conditions. The road may be impassible or blocked. Motorists who
drive past a road closure device may be fined up to $250.
