South Dakota Road Conditions And Closures

The State urges drivers to practice the following safety tips courtesy of the South Dakota Department of Transportation when traveling through road work zones:

• Don’t Speed – Reduce speed before entering a work zone. If other motorists are speeding, don’t follow the bad example. Remember, fines are double in work zones.
• Stay Alert – Dedicate full attention to the road. Remember, somebody’s loved one is working in that area.
• Pay Attention – Avoid distracting activities like adjusting the radio and talking or using a cell phone.
• Expect the Unexpected – Be extra vigilant because the traffic patterns and speeds are different than normal.
• Be Prepared to Stop – Signs and work-zone flaggers save lives.
• Don’t Tailgate – Maintain adequate and safe distances from workers and other vehicles.
• Be Patient – Remember, road crews are working to improve your future ride. Someone’s family is expecting them home at the end of their shift.
