Slow Down in Work Zones

SLOW DOWN IN WORK ZONES. Take your time with your oversize loads and heavy haul loads while going through work zones and give yourself plenty of room to get through and stop when an emergency stop comes up. Always maintain a safe speed and following distance in work zones, you never know when someone is going to step out or equipment pull out. Feel good about what you do and take pride in keeping your safety values. Two reasons why: The nation’s economy depends on it and the safety of the motoring public depends on it. Thumbs up for a job well done!

Road Safty - Stay Alert

STAY ALERT! The single most important thing you can do to protect yourself and others is to pay attention behind the wheel. If you keep your eyes ahead of you on the road, pay attention to the driving environment and traffic situations (other vehicles, signs, etc.) you will be able to anticipate problems and react properly to potentially dangerous events. We can’t just SAY we are safe --- we have to PROVE IT by obeying the laws and driving safely

SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA
Flood Advisory for melting snow remains in effect for southwestern
Sioux... southeastern Hettinger... western Grant and Adams counties

continue to melt today as temperatures rise into the 50s.

also likely to continue as slush blocks drainage systems. Within
bank rises are expected on creeks and streams flowing into the
Cannonball river early this week and noticeable rises on the
Cannonball are possible later in the week.

of Adams... southeastern Hettinger... southwestern Sioux and western
