In the summer and fall, the approach to Ridgewood Summit is a winding, pleasant drive on a modern, four-lane highway. But as winter approaches, it becomes a point of concern for local law enforcement and first responders.
We see a noticeable increase of traffic incidents due to inclement weather, which tends to come in the winter, when rain, ice, and snow arrive at the high-elevation pass.
Ridgewood Summit may also experience weather-related slowdowns or road closures one or two times per year, just in general, because of its altitude.
It's historically one of those places where my team assists highway patrol and escorts ambulances all winter, highlighting the dangerous conditions that can arise unexpectedly.
