Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol are reminding drivers to be safe on the roads as storms arrive this week.
They offer the following tips:
- Reduce your speed in rainy, foggy and windy conditions. Motorists should be aware that Black Ice may develop, usually near bridges, underpasses and low or shaded areas.
- Slow down and move over when Caltrans workers, law enforcement or tow truck drivers are working near the roadway.
- Be aware of electronic message boards and other road signs with information on incidents, changing road conditions, lane closures or detours.
- Make sure that vehicle brakes, windshield wiper blades and tires are in good condition and inspect your head and tail lights for maximum visibility on the highway.
- Call 911 to report any hazardous conditions.
