With Halloween on Saturday and daylight saving time ending Sunday, ALDOT reminds drivers to slow down and watch for pedestrians, especially in neighborhoods and near crosswalks.

As it gets darker earlier, pedestrians should wear bright or reflective clothing and use designated crosswalks. A little extra caution can help everyone get home safely!

Over the last few days, ALDOT crews have worked around the clock preparing for Hurricane Isaias before it made landfall, then jumping into action to clear roadways impacted by storm debris and downed power lines.

While significant progress has been made restoring transportation routes, debris remains along some highways, particularly in the hardest-hit areas of South Alabama.

As night falls and the storm moves out of Alabama, our crews are going to take some much-deserved rest and attend to any impacts the storm had on their own families.

Personnel will remain available overnight to respond to emergencies before resuming the recovery mission in the morning.

Motorists are urged to remain alert for roadside debris and use caution around cleanup and emergency crews.

Great news for the southeast region of the state following last night's Hurricane Isaias landfall.

All ALDOT maintained roadways across the Southeast Region are clear of debris!

Some traffic signals are still without power due to ongoing local outages. Please remember that any intersection with a non-functioning signal is to be treated as an all-way stop.

Thank you for your patience and support while our crews and emergency personnel worked to clear the roads.

Check traffic updates and current road conditions through the ALGO Traffic app or the ALGO Traffic website.
