This may be a hot take, but like, it definitely shouldn't be. Staying safe means using the right tools for the job. Always wear your helmet. 🏍️ #MotorcycleSafety #WearYourHelmet

Our TMAs were hit 50 times last year. Fifty. Distracted driving puts every life on the road at risk. Make the right choice behind the wheel—stay focused. Never drive distracted. 📵🚗

We're watching you... 👀 (we have to, you're driving too recklessly and we want to make it home at the end of our shift). #WZAW

We're not trying to throw shade at anyone, but like, come on folks. If you're someone that tosses trash out while you're driving, kindly reconsider. Help us keep Missouri healthy and beautiful 🌲🌾🚮

Earbuds block awareness. Take one out near traffic—your safety matters. #PedestrianSafety #StayAlert

Littering on Missouri roads? Nah, that idea is trash 🚮 Don't toss trash where it doesn't belong. Help us keep Missouri beautiful. Don't litter. #NoMOreTrash

Falling snow and strong winds can quickly reduce visibility, making travel more challenging. Even if most surfaces seem fine, bridges and overpasses can freeze with the cold overnight temperatures. Stay alert and check current conditions before you go: traveler.modot.org/map

ALL crash responders need you to slow down and move over when you see them: 🚒 Firefighters 🚑 EMS 🚔 Law Enforcement, 🦺 Towing & Recovery 🚨 Safety Service Patrols Follow the law to keep everyone safe!

Time is running out! If you think your kiddos have what it takes to decorate a really cool trash can and help promote our "No MOre Trash" message, go to modot.org/trash-can-contest to submit your Trash Can Contest photos today! 🚯♻️🗑️

Word on the street* is scammers are at it again. Any texts posing as MoDOT or @MissouriRevenue threatening you to pay now are a scam! Do not click any links, and delete and report these texts. MoDOT will never solicit you to pay a toll fee (we don't even have those). *our inbox

HEADS UP: Winter weather makes its return this Sunday. Lots of uncertainties at this point, but be prepared! We're getting our teams and equipment ready for whatever comes our way. Make a plan now so you aren't driving during frozen precipitation if you don't need to be!

Esteemed citizens of Missouri, Did you know MoDOT maintains 10,000 bridges throughout the state? That’s a lot of bridges, or as we like to say "that’s a Bridge A Ton". For more 'Bridge a Ton', facts check out modot.org/fast-facts

We know no matter which way you chop it up, road work can be frustrating. Rest assured, crews are working as quickly and safely as possible. We always appreciate your patience! 🤝

7:30 PM (1/25): We're making progress, but there's still a lot of work to be done. Make a plan for tomorrow: delay your travel if you can & give our crews more time to get across the secondary routes. If you have to be out, TAKE IT SLOW. Check conditions: traveler.modot.org

The conditions aren’t messing around, but neither are we. Our crews are fighting this around the clock - they’ve traveled more than 679,000 miles this weekend (and counting). Help them out: stay off the roads today and give them room to work! ❄️

Coming soon! More snow is in the forecast for the coming days and into the weekend. Here's the lowdown 👇❄️

Though accumulation is unlikely, there is a possibility for short bursts of intense snowfall in certain areas which may limit visibility. Consider avoiding travel during active precipitation this afternoon, but at the very least buckle up and slow down! traveler.modot.org ❄️
