Dangers of ignoring road closure signs
Hidden Dangers
- Floodwaters hide hazards like lifted manhole covers, debris and damaged road surfaces and verges. Even after the water recedes, structural damage to roads, banks and verges may still be present.
- Driving hazards such as mud and debris may need to be cleared by our teams before it is safe.
Danger to Others
- Moving or ignoring flood signs puts yourself and others at risk. It’s not only dangerous, but it's also an offence.
- Do not drive into floodwater.
The Facts
- 15cm of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet.
- 30cm of water can move your car.
- 60cm of standing water will float your vehicle.
Don’t risk it
Even a small amount of water can cause serious damage to your car or, worse, lead to a life-threatening situation.
Removing signs or driving through flooded areas means our teams and emergency resources are tied up and can’t respond to other urgent situations.
