As you head out the door today, make sure you give yourself enough time if any of these road closures are on your daily route.
Current Road Closures:
- Indian Canyon from Tramview to Palm Springs Station Road.
- Gene Autry from Interstate 10 to east Via Escuela.
- Araby Dr through the wash area
- Vista Chino from Gene Autry to Cathedral City Limits.
- Elm Street from Bonita Ave to Adele Ave in Cabazon.
- Seminole Drive east of Morongo Casino to Main Street.
If you must drive in the rain today make sure you are taking every precaution necessary to do so safely.
- Drive at a slower speed.
- Avoid using cruise control.
- Keep both hands on the wheel to maintain full control of your vehicle.
- Drive on the center lanes. Water collects on the edges of a road more.
- Avoid potholes or large puddles. You don't know how deep they go and you can get stuck.
- Keep a safe distance between your car and the one in front of you.
