State police would like drivers to continue to be alert for flooded roadways, limited visibility, and slick conditions as the heavy rains continue through the day.
Drive to Save Lives by:
- Use your headlights! State law requires headlights on when windshield wipers are activated. Plus, the headlights make you more visible to other drivers when visibility is limited in a heavy downpour.
- Slow your speedto safely navigate inclement road and weather conditions.
- Turn Around. Don't Drown. – Never drive through standing water. What looks like a puddle can be deep and swift-moving water, so don't risk it. Turn around and find another, safer route to your destination.
- Always buckle up.
- Never drive distracted.
- Dial 511 for Road Conditions.Reserve 911 and #77 for emergencies calls only.
