Welcome!
Welcome to the Safe ROADS web site. Safe ROADS is part of the ROADS effort to keep our highways safe and clean.
Safe Roads Are No Accident!
- Secure Loads
- Whether you drive a dump truck or a pick-up truck, make sure the bed is covered and secured. We've all seen tarps flapping in the wind with debris blowing out from underneath them. It takes only a small piece of metal, wood or concrete to create a dangerous situation for other motorists.
- Report Debris
- If you see hazardous debris (in the lanes of traffic, not on the roadside) - don't stop and pick it up, Call: *FHP
- Don't Litter
- Make it a rule that nothing gets tossed from the windows of your car.
- Adopt A Highway
- Join an organization or group that adopts a portion of roadway and donates time or resources to keep it clean. Contact the local Florida Department of Transportation Maintenance Office and ask for the Adopt A Highway Program Coordinator.
- Drive Defensively
- Maintain a Safe Following distance.
- Buckle Up
- Always wear your seat belt and keep both hands on the wheel. You might have to swerve to miss a hazard on the road.
- Stay Alert
- Concentrate on your driving. Safety experts advise not to talk on cell phones, eat or use the radio dials when driving. Road debris can appear within seconds.
