TRAFFIC ADVISORY - AVOID MONROE STREET NEAR FORT LOOKOUT 🚨
Due to heavy rainfall, there is water over the roadway on Monroe Street near Fort Lookout. Please avoid this area and do not attempt to drive through high water. It only takes a few inches of water to lose control of your vehicle or become stranded.
Barricades will be placed in this area. For your safety and the safety of our officers, please respect all road closures and detour signs.
🌧️ Rainy Weather Driving Tips:
• Slow down. Wet roads reduce traction.
• Turn on your headlights so other drivers can see you.
• Keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you.
• Avoid sudden stops or sharp turns.
• Never drive through standing water. It can be deeper than it appears.
Let’s all do our part to stay safe on the roads. Thank you for your cooperation, Camden!
