SAFETY ALERT FROM YOUR LSUA POLICE DEPARTMENT
Heavy rain can quickly create dangerous high water conditions on roadways. Please use extreme caution.
* Never drive through flooded roads - Turn Around, Don’t Drown
* Even shallow moving water can sweep a vehicle away or cause serious damage
* Water depth is often deeper than it appears
* Avoid driving during heavy rain unless absolutely necessary
If roads are still passable:
* Reduce speed significantly and drive well below posted limits
* Increase following distance to allow extra stopping time
* Use headlights to improve visibility for you and others
* Avoid sudden braking or sharp turns on wet pavement
* Do not attempt to pass through standing or moving water - find an alternate route
* Watch for hidden hazards like potholes, debris, and washed out areas
Report blocked or hazardous roadways to local authorities.
Your Safety is Our #1 Priority
When in doubt, choose another route or wait it out!
