Roads should be in good shape for the Tuesday morning commute despite a nor easter that was forecast to drop up to 18 inches of snow on Rhode Island, the director of Rhode Island s Department of Transportation said.
Anyone trying to commute on Monday evening, against the advice of the Rhode Island State Police, had a rough ride.
By 3:30 p.m. the state police reported 10 crashes, none with serious injuries; said they had assisted 13 drivers and stoped 34 tractor-trailer drivers who were still on the road despite the governor s ban against big rigs on state roads starting at 5 a.m. Monday.
