Good to know in Houston

Houston roads have construction debris, potholes and standing water that hides damage. Heat also raises tire pressure and can cause blowouts on worn tires. Flat tires on busy freeways are risky, so move to a safe place and call.

Texas has a Move Over law that requires drivers to slow down or move over for stopped emergency and tow vehicles. If you pull over, turn on your hazard lights and stay safe.
