Flood waters are especially dangerous at night. Limited visibility can make roads look safer than they are. If you come across standing or flowing water on the road, don't risk it. Turn Around, Don't Drown. ➡️ ready.gov/floods

🔄 Happy National Roundabouts Week 2026!
Did you know that modern roundabouts reduce intersection crashes that result in death or injury by an average of 82%? They also keep traffic moving smoothly, reducing delays by up to 74%. Before you take your next spin, remember the golden rule: slow down, look around, and be ready to yield. Traffic already in the roundabout has the right of way, so enter only when there is a safe gap.
