Slow moving exodus from South Lake Tahoe

All day Sunday the traffic heading west out of South Lake Tahoe has been slow moving due to snow, stuck cars, avalanche controls and chain restrictions.

Even with a educational push by the City for travelers to not use the side roads as they travel home, roads such as Upper Truckee, Sawmill and Mandan were heavily traveled by drivers trying to find a quicker way home.

Chains or 4WD vehicles with snow tires are required on higher elevation roads tonight, with chains or snows over SR-267.
