SALINE COUNTY -Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are reminding motorists to stay off muddy roads or they could get a ticket.

After over 1.5 inches of rain Friday into Saturday, some owners of 4-wheel drive vehicles took to mud roads in Saline County.

Those who got stuck also were cited from driving on roads that are typically closed when roads are muddy, according to Saline County Undersheriff Roger Soldan

Drivers were cited for driving on and getting stuck in the 300 block of East Glanville Road, in the 500 block of Whitmore Road, 3000 block of East Cloud, and the 1800 block of North Tressin.

There are no homes on the roads, which are used primarily by farmers to access fields.

When the roads become wet, they become impassable and it is illegal to drive on them if they are posted.

Soldan said the Sheriff’s Office is asking the County to post more roads as closed when they are wet.
