PROVIDENCE, RI- Tonight, just as many people are walking as they are driving.

Governor Raimondo gave residents the option to get on the roads but suggested they not risk it.

“I know everyone’s getting itchy. You look outside, you see the plows and you think it’s safe. It’s not safe. Please, I’m asking you– juts hang in there a little bit longer,” said Raimondo.

“Although the travel ban for Rhode Island has been lifted, there are still streets that have not been plowed.

There weren’t a lot of businesses open, but some people are out taking care of business.

“You gotta get out. Yyou can’t stay home. You know, some people wasn’t prepared; I apparently wasn’t,” said, Troy Cable.

If you brave the elements to go out, you may find yourself helping others.

Cable was out to get food for his children and ended up lending a hand to a driver whose car got stuck in the middle of the street.

That car belonged to Bobby Darezzo. He said, “Took a little while but we were able to get out.”

At the gas station, unsure if he has to work tomorrow, one driver was filling and stocking up on snacks.

Jeff Mitsou lives nearby. He said, “My boss is not gonna say, ‘sure why not don’t worry about it you’re snowed in’.”

For at least one person who decided to move his car, he ended up staying put anyways.

“No not going anywhere tonight,” said Darezzo.
