The first hours of rain following a dry spell can mean trouble on the road and travelers everywhere need to be aware of the hazards that can follow.
Oil and grease don’t wash off the roads during the dry season. Instead, they come to the surface all at once with the first rains of the fall. That can make roads unexpectedly slick and treacherous and if it catches you by surprise, you could end up in a crash.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen wet roads so we all may need a few reminders for driving in the rain.
And perhaps most important is to look out for each other. Motorists need to keep a even sharper eye out for bicyclists and pedestrians when visibility is poor.
