It’s been a rainy start to the summer for most of Wisconsin. If you have your windshield wipers on, your lights should be on too! #WipersOnLightsOn

Using a median crossover to turn around on a freeway can be dangerous, and is illegal on certain highways. If you miss your exit, the only safe alternative is to continue to the next exit and use the off and on ramps to turn around. #WednesdayWisdom

Rural roads often have curves where it’s necessary for a driver to slow down to safely navigate through them. Advisory speed limits alert drivers of a recommended speed through the curve(s). These speeds are usually determined by the sharpness of the curve(s). #RRSAW2025
