PRACTICE MONSOON SAFETY (VIDEO) - With the monsoon in full swing, the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility's (DTM) Operation Splash campaign continues to protect the traveling public during storms. Monsoon storms can bring heavy flooding, road closures, and power outages. If you encounter a closed road, do not drive around the barricade, as just 12 inches of water can carry away most vehicles. If traffic lights are out, treat the intersection as a four-way-stop if an officer is not present, and ensure you come to a complete stop before entering the roadway. DTM Street Maintenance is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through mid-September, closing roadways at dip crossings and washes using the more than 500 barricades placed on the side of the roadways. DTM also helps residents concerned with flooding by offering free sandbags in the east parking lot of Hi Corbett Field, 700 S. Randolph Way, at Reid Park. Sand and sandbags are provided by DTM staff, but residents should bring their own shovels. There is a limit of 10 sandbags per vehicle. Remember, a barricade in place on a roadway is a sign that unsafe conditions exist ahead. If you see one, turn around, don't drown Link to video in the comments #Safety #Community #Transportation

I’ve lived here my entire existence and as sure as the sun rises in the East, idiots will still see a raging current during monsoon and still drive around the barricades. Stupid Motorist Law for real. Nature sifts out the dense ones.
