Flooding is possible after heavy storms or steady rainfall. Even moderate amounts of rain can cause flash floods and flooding.
TIP: Pay attention to weather reports and never drive or walk into moving water.

Speed increases both the risk and severity of a crash. Under DMV’s FAST pilot program, CHP citations for speeds over 100 mph are automatically referred to DMV for review and possible action against the driver’s license.
Slow down. Get there safely.
