The decision to restrict vehicles will be based upon public safety and if safe to do so, vehicles will be allowed to enter the restricted area if they are on essential business or traveling to-and-from their residence, officials said in a release.
While D.C. Police and city officials don't anticipate street closures on Friday or Sunday, there is the potential for "intermittent closures" in the downtown area. Any decision to close a street will be based upon public safety, according to D.C. Police. All vehicles that are parked in violation of the emergency no parking signs will be ticketed and towed.
