  • Current weather conditions are helping roads to improve, but there are still slick and slushy spots that can cause accidents.

Street Conditions:

  • Public Works street crews are transitioning to 8-hour shifts.
  • Though current weather conditions are helping roads to improve, refreezing will be a concern tonight. 
  • Crews will continue to maintain arterial streets throughout the community, especially at intersections.
  • Follow these simple rules when you see our crews working in Midwest City:
    •  Stay at least 100 feet (5 car lengths) behind our trucks as they salt, sand and plow.
    •  Try not to pass our trucks as they work.
    •  If your vehicle is stuck on a city street, please do not stand in the street to stop or flag down other drivers for assistance. City snow plows or trucks cannot stop to provide assistance. It's safer for you to stay in your vehicle and call a tow service, family or friends for assistance.
