Wet conditions will again be a threat on Queensland roads over the next few days and Brisbane West Police are urging motorists to take extra care when driving.
It is a good time to familiarise yourself with some simple safety tips.
Avoid flooded roads, creeks and watercourses.
Flood waters can be fast-moving and unpredictable.
Slow down when travelling in heavy rain and on water-affected roads.
Road conditions may be difficult to assess, including water depth, water speed and debris.
Remember: ‘If It’s Flooded, Forget It!’
Road closures and road conditions can change rapidly as creeks and water courses can rise and fall quickly.
Do not play in or enter flood prone waterways, watercourses and drains as water levels can rises rapidly.
