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.

The "100 Deadliest Days of Summer" in Ohio, spanning from Memorial Day to Labor Day, typically brings heavier traffic and an increase in serious-injury and fatal crashes. Stay alert, drive responsibly, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.

Let's have a fun & safe summer☀️

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.

This , we’re sending a huge shoutout to the overnight crews whose dedication keeps our days running smoothly. Your hard work makes a difference — thank you!

Thinking of our friends up north during this tragic loss. Drivers need to pay attention and move over/slow down for all roadside workers.

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.
