The Phase III designation means that ONLY authorized emergency vehicles are permitted on Baltimore City roadways. This includes police, fire, ambulance, snow plows and BGE emergency response vehicles. All hospitals should keep all staff in place for the duration of Phase III.
This designation comes amid increasing difficulties traveling the roads and poor visibility, and many four-wheel drive vehicles are getting stuck. The Phase III designation is currently planned to expire at 6 a.m. on Sunday, January 24, 2016. But if conditions warrant, the designation may be extended.
