they're anticipating just needing salt and not plows, not expecting a lot of accumulations. they did a lot of the work overnight to help prep for this, laying down a salt solution that gave them a head start on what it turns out to be. that helped, as did drivers who heeded a warning to get off the roads and get out before rush hour. >> i don't think anybody is good on the road. maryland drivers are not good on the road. >> so you wanted to get off the road? >> oh, yeah. get off the road and get home. >> reporter: you know in these situations where there is a little bit of anticipation of wintry weather people heed that warning. we saw a lot of cars heading north out of the city probably heeding that warning because as they told us when they do have to add salt or plow, having cars on the road makes it a bigger challenge. if you want to know what traffic looks like, check our apps. you can also call 511 to hear the latest traffic information. joce sterman reporting. >>> so we've got our eyes on the roads from all directions. let's check in with abc2 news jamie costello who's

why would the transportation department waste the salt and the money that bought it, salting roads whenirtually no snow and no dangerous driving conditions? i know this winter lacked any winter, but we shouldn't be wasting our resources just because we have them. karen, the short, simple answer is this. no politician was unelected because they got too many salt trucks out there and too many snowplows out ready for action. then there was this. compromise? what compromise. instead of requiring faith based organizations to sign up front for this cost, insurance companies that cover faith based organizations must include this coverage in their policies. and you got to know that faith based organizations will have to pay whatever cost insurance companies will concur. that wraps up the mail bag for tonight and you can join us and send your e-mail messages. mailbag@wusa9.com. that's our broadcast. we'll see you later tonight at 11:00 along with anita brikman. don't forget, wusa9.com is always on. we'll see you later. bye bye. >>> now, "entertainment tonight" the most-watched entertainment news
