Caddo Parish: Winter Weather Safety Tips

Press release from the Caddo Parish:

February 3, 2022

As winter weather conditions move into our area, we want to remind citizens to exercise safe travel across Caddo Parish: - Look out for parish work vehicles applying sand to area bridges and overpasses. - Exercise caution when traveling on roadways during hazardous weather conditions and stay off the roads whenever possible.  - If you have to drive, do it slowly, carefully and avoid driving while distracted. - Allow for extra driving time, reduce speeds when visibility is low, and make sure there is plenty of room between vehicles. - Be aware of black ice – a thin, transparent layer of ice accumulation that can be visually be hard to detect on bridges, overpasses, off-ramps and in shady spots. - Buckle up and refrain from drinking and driving. Should weather conditions warrant any Parish road/bridge closures or operational adjustments, please visit caddo.org and follow the Parish's social media channels for updates. caddo.org
