Flashing lights ahead? That’s your cue to move over or slow down. That is the best action you can take to help protect crash responders.
Safety starts with you.
Keep our roadway heroes safe and help them get home safely each day.

FDOT crews have been hard at work this week to help clear the roads impacted by recent flooding in Central and South Florida. Team members from all over the state came prepared with pumps and vacuum trucks to get Floridians back on the roads safely as soon as possible.

FDOT crews are continuing to monitor flooding conditions throughout Brevard County, including temporarily closing roads where necessary to keep motorists safe until the water subsides, and working to assess and reopen roads once safe.
Drivers should continue to check road conditions in advance of traveling. Visit FL511.com or the Florida 511 app for real-time closures and flooding information. Do not drive past barricades or road closure signs. Seek alternate routes if you encounter a flooded roadway.
Safety reminder: Avoid driving, walking or swimming through flooded roadways, as the conditions and depths of the water and road below are unknown. Always proceed with caution.
DYK: Over the last year alone, Road Rangers provided nearly half a million assists to motorists in need across the state? Their work includes tasks like clearing debris, jump-starting vehicles, and helping stranded motorists to safety.
Their role often places them at risk while working near fast-moving traffic, but you can count on them and other crash responders to answer the call.

The future of air travel is taking off from coast to coast in Florida! 📍🍊
FDOT is redefining how people and goods move with advanced, electric aircraft that can quickly connect communities with dedicated aerial highways throughout the state. From the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Coast, FDOT is launching these aircraft to Florida’s skies through a never-been-done series of test flights as part of the @FAANews’ eVTOL and AAM Integration Pilot Program. Florida’s Future of Flight Series will provide real-world insight to the FAA as they help prepare the nation for commercial AAM services.
