‘Tis the season for colorful lights, holiday jingles, and increased travel throughout Virginia.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will be suspending many highway work zones and lifting temporary lane closures on interstates and other major roads in Virginia from noon on Tuesday, December 24, until noon on Thursday, December 26, as well as from noon on Tuesday, December 31, until noon on Thursday, January 2.
While lane closures will be lifted in most locations, motorists may encounter semi-permanent work zones that remain in place during this holiday travel time.
STAY SAFE
Here are some additional tips for safely navigating the roadways during the holiday travel period:
- Buckle up every time and ensure passengers and car seats are secured.
- If you plan to drink, have a designated driver, use public transportation or make plans for a rideshare.
- Be patient and follow the posted speed limit.
- Consider leaving early to allow extra time to reach your destination.
- Put your phone down and don’t drive distracted.
- Make sure your car is prepared for traveling in colder temperatures, including checking tire pressure and windshield wiper fluid levels and blades.
- Obey the “Move Over” law, requiring motorists to move over one lane, if possible, for all vehicles with flashing lights, flares, or warning signs stopped on the side of the road. If drivers are unable to move over, they should reduce their speed and use caution.
