When you’re sharing the road with big trucks, there’s no need to rush. Heavy traffic and construction can mean you need more time to react. Slow down, give trucks plenty of room and pass them only when it’s safe and legal to do so. #BeSafeDriveSmart #DriveLikeATexan

Don’t drive like an animal. 🫏 If you’re driving in areas with oil and gas activity, you’re sharing the road with lots of traffic. Be safe and follow the rules of the road. #BeSafeDriveSmart #DriveLikeATexan

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.
