New EDC Traction Control Ordinance ready to be enforced
Submitted by paula on Fri, 11/24/2017 - 1:43am
Vehicles without the proper traction control device on their cars while on El Dorado County roads this winter may be fined and/or towed.
Massive traffic jams on Sundays in Meyers throughout last winter led drivers onto side streets without chains or snow tires on their vehicles, creating a parking lot of disabled cars that were stuck in the snow. Those drivers attempting to circumvent traffic ended up using Manda, North Upper Truckee and other local roads but a new ordinance will try and alleviate those issues.
