WEEKS TO COME IN JUST A BIT. ALL RIGHT, AARON, THANK YOU. OAKLAND CITY STREET DIVISION SAYS THEY'VE HAD CREWS WORKING 24 7, MAKING SURE THE ROADS ARE MANAGEABLE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO NEED TO GET OUT. >> NEWS FOUR'S MY AWARD JOINS US WITH AN UPDATE ON STREET CONDITIONS AS WELL AS THE CITY'S EFFORTS TO CLEAR THOSE ROADS BEFORE MORNING. MAYA. >> A JURY OF THE CITY SAYS THEY'RE EXPECTED TO SALT AND PLOW NEARLY 2000 MILES OF STREET AND THEY SAY THE ROADS ARE IN PRETTY BAD CONDITION. AND AS THE SUN STARTS TO SET GOING INTO TOMORROW, CONDITIONS COULD GET WORSE. >> GOT 30 TRUCKS OUT ON THE ROAD AND HAVE SNOW PLOW AND SALT EQUIPMENT ON THEM TRYING TO CLEAR SNOW ROUTES. THE OKLAHOMA CITY'S STREET SUPERINTENDENT CHRIS DANIELS SAYS HIS CREWS ARE WORKING 12 HOUR SHIFTS, SALTING AND PLOWING THE ROADS.
THIS CREW THAT'S ON RIGHT NOW. THEY THEY WILL GO THROUGH UNTIL MIDNIGHT. WE'LL HAVE A SHIFT CHANGE AT MIDNIGHT FOR THE NEXT GROUP. DURING THAT TIME. TRUCKS ARE WORKING ALONG SNOW ROUTES ACROSS THE METRO. DANIEL SAYS THEY WERE PREPARED FOR EVEN WORSE DELIVER KIND OF FORTUNATE BECAUSE WE ARE FEARING IT WAS WONDERFUL TO BE MORE ACCUMULATION, WHAT THERE IS, BUT STILL THE ROADS ARE LESS THAN IDEAL. AND THE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THERE'S BEEN 18 REPORTED ACCIDENTS ON THE CITY STREETS SO FAR.
THAT'S QUITE A BIT. SO. >> YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY WANT PEOPLE TO STAY HOME IF THEY CAN. BUT IF YOU CAN'T, THE CITY AS WELL AS OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WILL BE OUT PLOWING THE ROADS. WE WANT MOTORISTS TO KNOW THAT WHILE OUR CREWS ARE MONITORING CLOSELY OUT CHECKING ROAD CONDITIONS. >> AND RESPONDING AS NEEDED, EVEN THOUGH CREWS ARE OUT CLEARING THE STREETS. THEY SUGGEST THINKING TWICE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE, THEY HAVE TO USE CAUTION SLOW THEIR SPEED DRIVE FOR CONDITIONS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH CREWS ARE OUT TREATING AND PLOWING AND OFTEN PRETREATING IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
IT IS NOT CURE. ALL. >> THE CITY SAYS THEY PLAN TO CONTINUE CLEARING THE ROADS GOING .
