It's a bright sign that warns motorists they are near schools. Do you think they're holding a lunch box or books?
Either way, when you see this sign, slow down & watch for children on their way to & from school.

Remember that grapple we posted on Friday? Here it is in action. It’s already removed debris from Route 231 while another worker clears the smaller stuff.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

Important reminder—if the traffic signal is out, act like it’s a stop sign. Every direction is required to stop.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!
We’re still in the nor’easter. Crews were on the Sunken Meadow Parkway clearing more tree debris from the road.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

The roads are wet. If you’re heading out today, continue to use caution. Reduce speed and allow yourself more time to brake.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

It’s been that kind of day in the nor’easter. A downed tree was removed from the Southern State Parkway shoulder near the Carmans Road bridge. More foul weather is still ahead.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

Before and after the @NYSDOT removed a downed tree from the shoulder of the LIE North Service Road near Bagatelle Road. In less than 30 minutes, everything was cleared.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

With power outages throughout Long Island, you may encounter a dark traffic signal. That means all direction must stop and yield just like it was a stop sign.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

Sometimes the storm drains get too full. That’s where we step in to pump out water so the roads don’t flood.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

The nor’easter is keeping our crews busy. During the overnight, they were clearing drainage in downpours of rain.

[NYSDOT Long Island @nysdotli]

The nor’easter is here, in case you didn’t notice. Try to avoid traveling this weekend.
If you encounter standing water on the roads remember to turn around, don’t drown!
