Work zones are bustling with activity, presenting various challenges for drivers. Roadway conditions may change frequently, sometimes even on a daily basis. That's why it's important for you to move over, slow down, and pay attention.

Fresh look for an historic route🎨

Pavement tattoos were recently put down in Licking County to highlight the Historic National Road, an Ohio and national scenic byway. Drivers can find them in Gratiot, Hebron, Kirkersville, and Etna with more to come along U.S. 40 throughout the summer. These tattoos are the first scenic byway tattoos in Ohio and were made possible by our local partners at the Ohio National Road Association!

Travel the Historic National Road Scenic Byway this year and find all the pavement tattoos while experiencing one of America's most iconic roadways.

Why should you choose a rear facing car seat for your young child?

Our partners at Buckle Up for Life share that because childrens’ little bodies are still developing, the younger they are, the more vulnerable they are, and their anatomy
is better suited for a rear facing seat.

In the instance of a crash, the impact is more evenly diffused throughout the rear facing car seat, holding the neck and spine in line. The hard shell of the rear facing car seat also absorbs the impact.

Remember, using a rear facing car seat is determined by weight and height, not age.

Parts of the state are getting HEAVY rain. Drivers should have their headlights on, drive with caution, and obey all road closed barricades. Road closed means the road is closed to everyone, even you.
