LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL BE HITTING THE ROAD FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. WHILE NO ROAD CONSTRUCTION OR LANE CLOSURES WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE HOLIDAY, A-DOT OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES MOTORISTS NEED TO BE AWARE OF. MONSOON RAINS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE STATE DURING THE WEEKEND, SO YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO DRIVE IN STORMY CONDITIONS. 

BEFORE GOING ON A TRIP, BE SURE TO CHECK OVER YOUR VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION, AND PACK AN EMERGENCY KIT WITH EXTRA FOOD, WATER, SUNSCREEN, A FLASHLIGHT, A FIRST AID KIT, AND A CELL PHONE CHARGER. 

A-DOT ALSO REMINDS EVERYONE NOT TO DRINK AND DRIVE AND DO NOT TEXT WHILE DRIVING. WITH MORE VEHICLES THAN USUAL ON THE ROADWAY FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, A-DOT URGES EVERYONE TO BE PATIENT WHILE TRAVELING TO THEIR DESTINATION.
