Check DriveTexas Before Traveling During Storms

The state's DriveTexas website shows real-time road closures, weather alerts, and traffic cameras across Dallas County and North Texas.

Dallas County Cars & Driving

When severe weather, ice storms, or flooding hit Dallas County, road conditions can change fast. The Texas Department of Transportation runs DriveTexas at drivetexas.org. The site has a live map showing road closures, alerts, and traffic cameras.

This tool is especially useful on I-35E, I-20, I-30, and the Trinity River corridor. Those roads can flood after heavy rain. Never drive through a flooded roadway. The water may be deeper than it looks, and the road surface below may be washed out. Turn around, don't drown. Bookmark drivetexas.org before storm season.
