Emergency Bridge Closure Over Lake Ray Roberts
FM 3002 East Bridge Closed Until Further Notice. Emergency contract will be executed as soon as plans are ready. Detour in place. Use FM 922 to get to the east side of the lake and take FM 372 south.
October is National Pedestrian Safety Month! 🚶🌙
Now that it gets dark earlier, make sure to stay alert and look out for each other.

Nearly 1 in 3 nighttime fatalities involve speeding.
When you can't see as far ahead, traveling at high speeds means you're driving blind to what’s around the next bend — whether it’s a curve, an animal, or a pedestrian.
Slow down and give yourself time to stop. 🫸

Intuition test! Did you get it right? 🚦
Fun fact: red is always at the top of a vertical traffic light and on the left side of a horizontal traffic light. You don’t have to rely on intuition to read them! #DriveLikeATexan
Reminder: bicycle and pedestrian public engagement closes July 10! ⏰
There’s still time to:
- Take the survey

Summer nights are for making memories—not mistakes. ‘Least drunk’ still means you're impaired, so if you plan to drink:

We’re heading into the most dangerous months of the year for bicyclists. 🚲⚠️ Sharing the road is a 2-way street.
Cyclists — ride defensively:
🚴 Stay visible
🚴 Ride with the flow of traffic
🚴 Be predictable
Drivers, remember to check:
🚗 Blind spots before changing lanes
🚗 Intersections before making a turn
🚗 Your mirror before opening your car door
Your decisions behind the wheel can affect whether motorcyclists make it home and back to the people they love.
-Look twice
-Avoid turning in front of a motorcyclist
-Always use turn signals
-Check blind spots
-Give riders room on the road
