The North Dakota Highway Patrol is urging all motorists to travel with care. High
winds are occurring throughout North Dakota.

During these conditions, high-profile, long-load type, and permitted over dimensional vehicles
have restricted travel. North Dakota law restricts movement for these vehicles when wind or other
conditions may cause the vehicle or attachment to swerve, whip, sway, or fail to follow in the path
of the towing vehicle.

Federal regulations direct the operators of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) to reduce speeds
when hazardous conditions such as snow, ice, sleet, fog, mist, rain, dust or smoke adversely affect
visibility or traction. These same regulations direct CMV drivers to cease operations altogether if
conditions become sufficiently dangerous.

Motorists can access road and weather information by visiting NDRoads at
https://travel.dot.nd.gov/. The map has a feature that displays windspeeds reported by the
National Weather Service.
