And during chain controls, speed limits are reduced to 30 miles an hour on Interstate 80 and down to 25 miles an hour on Highway 50. O’Connell also asks motorists to check out Cal Trans’ QuickMap” for current road conditions and chain requirements. And as always, drivers are asked to be alert for Caltrans workers operating equipment and to move over a lane when it’s safe to do so.
