Travel warning: Turn around, don't drown

Travel warning: Turn around, don't drown

With heavy rains approaching Middle Tennessee, the state Department of Health and Tennessee Emergency Management remind motorists of the dangers of trying to drive through high water on roads.

Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other severe weather related hazard. The Centers for Disease Control report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. The next highest percentage of flood-related deaths is due to walking into or ear flood waters.Why? The main reason is people underestimate the force and power of water. Many of the deaths occur in automobiles as they are swept downstream. Of these drownings, many are preventable, but too many people continue to drive around the barriers that warn you the road is flooded.

What Can I Do to Avoid Getting Caught is This Situation?

Most flood-related deaths and injuries could be avoided if people who come upon areas covered with water followed this simple advice: Turn Around Don't Drown®.

The reason that so many people drown during flooding is because few of them realize the incredible power of water. A mere six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes only two feet of rushing water to carry away most vehicles. This includes pickups and SUVs.

If you come to an area that is covered with water, you will not know the depth of the water or the condition of the ground under the water. This is especially true at night, when your vision is more limited.

Play it smart, play it safe. Whether driving or walking, any time you come to a flooded road, Turn Around Don't Drown®

Follow these safety rules:

  • Monitor the NOAA Weather Radio, or your favorite news source for vital weather related information.
  • If flooding occurs, get to higher ground. Get out of areas subject to flooding. This includes dips, low spots, canyons, washes etc.
  • Avoid areas already flooded, especially if the water is flowing fast. Do not attempt to cross flowing streams. Turn Around Don't Drown®
  • Road beds may be washed out under flood waters. NEVER drive through flooded roadways. Turn Around Don't Drown®
  • Do not camp or park your vehicle along streams and washes, particularly during threatening conditions.
  • Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers.

Two years after the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) began using the social networking service Twitter to share valuable travel information, the department's Twitter account postings have been read more than 100 million times.

"Social media is a great way for TDOT to stay connected with the motoring public," said TDOT Commissioner John Schroer. "We are pleased that our Twitter accounts are being used so frequently as a resource for information about our interstates and state roads."

In November 2011 alone, TDOT Twitter postings were read nearly 7.7 million times. For the year, postings reached 60.8 million readers.

There are currently 21 TDOT Twitter accounts, providing up-to-date information on various interstates in each of Tennessee's urban areas, the 511 motorist information line, and large construction projects. For the complete list, visit www.tn.gov/tdot/mediaroom/info.htm.

TDOT to halt lane closures for holiday weekend

TDOT to halt lane closures for holiday weekend

NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Department of Transportation is once again halting all lane closure activity on interstates and state highways for the busy Labor Day holiday travel period. Construction crews will stop all lane closure activity beginning at noon on Friday, September 2 through 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 6. This will provide maximum roadway capacity for motorists traveling during the busy Labor Day holiday.

"The Labor Day holiday marks the unofficial end of summer and is one of the busiest travel periods of the year," said TDOT Commissioner John Schroer. "We want to ensure that the thousands of travelers using Tennessee's roadways during this period arrive at their destinations quickly and safely without being impeded by road construction delays."

While lane closure activity will be stopped, workers will still be on site in many construction zones, and drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits. Drivers convicted of speeding in work zones where workers are present face a fine of $250 to $500, plus court fees and possible increased insurance premiums.

"Drivers can expect to see an increased number of law enforcement personnel on the roads this Labor Day weekend," said Governor's Highway Safety Office Director Kendell Poole. "We want everyone to have a safe holiday, so remember to buckle up, drive the speed limit and don't get behind the wheel if you've had too much to drink or are impaired in any way."


Nationwide travel is expected to remain relatively unchanged from last year. The summer travel season is expected to close with an estimated 31.5 million travelers taking a trip of 50 miles or more away from home. AAA Auto Club South projects that more than 541,000 Tennesseans will travel by car this Labor Day holiday, a slight decrease in travel through the state compared to last year's numbers.


For up-to-date travel information, motorists can call 5-1-1 from any land line or cell phone or visit www.tn.gov/tdot/tdotsmartway . Smart phone users can use the TDOT SmartWay Mobile website at http://m.tdot.tn.gov/SmartWay/ to access TDOT's SmartWay cameras, incident information and messages displayed on overhead Dynamic Message Signs. Travelers can also get instant traffic alerts by following TDOT on Twitter. For a list of available Twitter feeds visit www.tn.gov/tdot/mediaroom/info.htm.

TDOT to suspend road work for holiday weekend

TDOT to suspend road work for holiday weekend

Road construction won’t slow motorists down as they travel Tennessee’s highways this Memorial Day weekend. The Tennessee Department of Transportation will suspend all construction-related lane closures on interstates and state routes beginning at 12:00 noon on Friday, May 27 through 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 31. This will provide maximum roadway capacity for motorists expected to travel in the state this Memorial Day weekend.

“Halting road construction during this busy holiday weekend will minimize congestion and delays on Tennessee’s interstates, said Commissioner John Schroer. “We want to keep traffic flowing so everyone can have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.”
Motorists will still encounter some lane closures on long term construction projects. Drivers should be aware that reduced speed limits will be in effect in work zones. Slower speeds are necessary in work zones due to the temporary layout of the roadway and will be enforced. Drivers convicted of speeding through work zones where workers are present face a fine of up to $500, plus court fees and possible increased insurance premiums.
“Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer and we want everyone to arrive at their destination safely,” said Governor’s Highway Safety Office Director Kendell Poole. “If you’re traveling this Memorial Day weekend, be sure to buckle up and obey all traffic laws.”
AAA estimates 34.9 million people will travel more than 50 miles this Memorial Day holiday, reflecting a slight nationwide increase of .2% from 2010. Of this number, AAA predicts that 30.8 million Americans will travel by car. In Tennessee, AAA projects 603,397 will travel by automobile and 66,023 by air, which is an 11.5% increase over Tennessee’s 2010 travel numbers.
For up-to-date travel information, visit the TDOT SmartWay web site at www.tn.gov/tdot/tdotsmartway/ or call 5-1-1 from any land-line or cell phone. TDOT is also on Twitter. For statewide travel information follow @TN511 (www.twitter.com/TN511). TDOT has multiple Twitter accounts including interstate specific accounts.
