MoDOT wants you to follow these tips to drive safely on the day of the solar eclipse:
- Don’t stop along the interstate and no parking on the shoulder.
- Find a safe location to view the event and get there early.
- Watch out for increased pedestrian traffic along smaller roads. People may be randomly parking and walking alongside roads in the hour before the total eclipse to get the best viewing.
- Don’t take photographs of the eclipse while driving.
- Turn your headlights on and do not rely on your automatic headlights during the eclipse.
- Avoid travel during the eclipse or in the area of the main path if you can.
- Prepare for extra congestion, especially on interstates and other major roadways for the hours immediately following the eclipse.
- Check traffic conditions on MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map at http://traveler.modot.org/map/ also available as a free app at MoDOT Traveler Information.
- Have a full tank of gas and bring water with you in your vehicle.
