ARDOT needs your help, February’s winter weather was rough to the roads and no one likes potholes. If you see a pothole, please report it. We have a REPORT A POTHOLE feature on IDriveArkansas.com.

Texting while driving is the worst. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed. Don't drive distracted. #JustDrive

Heavy duty repairs including major pothole work has I-40 near the I-55 interchange in West Memphis down to 1-lane. Crews are working 24/7 to fix the problem as quickly as possible. But you can expect lane closures for another week. Thank you for your patience. @IDriveArkansas

"... it’s so critical that our elected leaders take this opportunity to really invest in transportation equity and access. Currently, less than 4% of our transportation spending goes to walking, rolling and transit projects. It’s past time to change that!" realchangenews.org/news/2021…

Disabled people need Washington to invest in sidewalks and transit

​I am a blind student at Washington State University, Vancouver. I live in a low-income housing apartment complex and get around on public transit. Unfortunately, the two closest bus stops to my home...

Lots of people think about 'water in the engine' as the main risk of driving flooded roads. Well Actually...did you know that it only takes a foot of moving water to float most vehicles? #FloodSafety

I highly suggest you avoid the Highland and Caraway intersection for lunch. MAJOR roadwork is being done and you will be stuck at the light for a while.

This week is Flood Safety Awareness Week - and knowing is half the battle! Do you know if any of your regularly traveled routes are flash flood zones? If so, do you have alternate routes planned out in advance?
