OLYMPIA — The potential for late season snow has led to a two-week extension of the deadline to remove studded tires.
The removal deadline is now by the end of the day Sunday, April 15.
State law allows the state Department of Transportation to extend the deadline into April if current or predicted conditions could make for difficult travel. The decision to extend is made in consultation with meteorologists and maintenance supervisors. The deadline was last extended in 2012.
This year’s decision was based on long-range forecasts that show the potential for significant weather, including snow that could affect cross-state travel into April.
Starting Monday, April 16, a driver with studded tires on the vehicle faces a $136 traffic infraction.
