Keeping the Road Safe is Everyone’s Responsibility

It is essential to follow all driving laws and road conditions when driving. If you see any vehicle or driver that looks dangerous, keep your distance. If you see a vehicle weaving in and out of the lanes, following too closely, or traveling at a higher rate of speed, move over a few lanes and get out of their way.

Drive defensively to ensure the safety of surrounding vehicles and to avoid incidents.
