• Road closed signs are there for your safety - ignoring road closures and flood signs isn’t just risky—it can be dangerous
• Roads aren’t officially reopened until they have passed a full safety inspection by our teams and deemed safe.
• Please do not drive past road closed signs or into flood water as there may be hidden dangers - flood levels may drop on certain roads but roads are not reopened until they have been inspected for safety.
• Your safety is our priority. Roads will officially reopen once it’s safe.
• Please respect the signs, and thank you for your patience.

Dangers of ignoring road closure signs

Hidden Dangers 

• Floodwaters hide hazards like lifted manhole covers, debris and damaged road surfaces and verges. Even after the water recedes, structural damage to roads, banks and verges may still be present.
• Driving hazards such as mud and debris may need to be cleared by our teams before it is safe.

Danger to Others

• Moving or ignoring flood signs puts yourself and others at risk. It’s not only dangerous, but it's also an offence.
• Do not drive into floodwater.

The Facts

• 15cm of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet. 
• 30cm of water can move your car. 
• 60cm of standing water will float your vehicle. 

Don’t risk it

Even a small amount of water can cause serious damage to your car or, worse, lead to a life-threatening situation.

Removing signs or driving through flooded areas means our teams and emergency resources are tied up and can’t respond to other urgent situations.
