Severe weather may impact travel this evening.
Remember: parking under an overpass is dangerous and could result in serious injury or worse.
Stay Weather Aware and if you can, delay travel, or seek out shelter at a rest area or gas station.
Kansas Department of Transportation retweeted
Saturday, Oct. 17 is National Move Over Day, but drivers should #SlowDownMoveOver for all vehicles on the roadside with flashing lights or warning signals EVERY DAY. It's the law, and it keeps stranded motorists and roadside workers safe.
