About 1 in 4 of all traffic fatalities in Texas occurs in oil- and gas-producing regions. 🚧 With big trucks and heavy machinery on the road, it’s important we all share the road safely. Slow down, put your phone away and stay alert. ⚠️ #BeSafeDriveSmart #DriveLikeATexan

A flooded road can hide washed-out pavement, debris, open drains and powerful currents. What looks passable could be deadly. Don’t drive around barricades. Learn the hidden dangers of flooded roadways in the #TxDOTNewsroom. ow.ly/9mVh50ZW4gv

A new ramp is taking shape! It will connect the future elevated southbound I-35 lanes to I-410 South. The new elevated lanes will carry through-traffic above the existing roadway with limited access points, improving traffic flow through the #I35NEX corridor.

Flood danger remains ongoing as storms continue to push through the state. Never drive through flooded roadways or around barricades. Always heed guidance from local officials. Just a few inches of water can damage your vehicle and risk your life. Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

🌧️ Heavy rain means slow down. If visibility is poor, don’t drive the speed limit just because it’s posted. Adjust your speed to the conditions and arrive safely. @TxDPS @TxDOTLaredo @TxDOT @TDEM @TxDOTPharr

More storms are in the forecast so remember: bridges are for driving under, not parking under. Stopping beneath overpasses creates hazards for everyone on the road. Make safe choices, slow down and keep moving when conditions allow. #TxWx #TurnAroundDontDrown

More than 50% of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related. You never know how deep the water is or if the road has been washed away or compromised beneath the water. Don’t risk driving into floodwaters. Turn Around, Don’t Drown! weather.gov/safety/flood-tur…
