Driving during and after big rainstorms can be hazardous. Flood waters come without notice. That is why Piscataway Township places barriers before rain falls on roads where it is believed flooding may occur.

Barriers can be wooden stands, maybe orange cones. What is important is that drivers do not go around or move the barriers.

You may think it is safe to drive on a roadway that has been blocked off. It is not. You may think that your SUV can get through a flooded road. It cannot.

“A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult,” according to the National Weather Service. “It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a small car, while 2 feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters.”

What is worse is that some residents move the barriers on their own. Drivers that follow think that the road is safe. Residents should never remove barriers on their own. You are risking your life and the lives of others.

Even after flood waters recede, a washed out road can leave debris behind or disrepair to the street so always wait for officials to determine if the road is safe to drive.

If you see flooded waters, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Never remove a barrier or go around a barrier. ... See MoreSee Less
