Summer vacation traffic is no joke. β˜€οΈπŸš™ Frustrations can spike when drivers don't follow the rules, but keeping your cool keeps everyone safe. Before you hit the road for your next trip, give yourself a quick refresher on safe driving habits. ‡️

TxDOT maintenance crews spent yesterday and today clearing drains and preparing for the expected rain storms that will impact the area this week. Always avoid high water! We observed too many people taking chances yesterday and getting stuck. It’s not worth it! #DriveLikeATexan

The safest decision happens before you turn the key. Driving after drinking alcohol and/or using THC puts everyone on Texas roads at risk. Always get a sober ride and drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. ow.ly/ZzcL50Zchoj #DriveSoberNoRegrets #DriveLikeATexan

As severe weather remains a concern: when in doubt, stay out of water-covered roadways. Do not attempt to drive through it. Even a small amount of moving water can quickly become dangerous and put lives at risk. Check current road conditions: DriveTexas.org #txwx

Heavy rain storms will impact the area! Areas west and north of Houston are seeing the effects now. Plan accordingly and make sure to always make safety a top priority. If you have to be on the road - slow down, stay focused (phones down) and leave plenty of space.

Here is what you need to know: βœ… Free tow service for eligible disabled vehicles on participating Houston-area freeways βœ… Helps move vehicles out of traffic and return to a safe location βœ… Available 24/7 If your vehicle becomes disabled on a freeway, call (713) 881-3333 or visit towandgo.com.
