Oil and gas production in Texas has created challenges for drivers. Be
extra cautious when traveling through energy work zones. Drive a safe
speed, pay attention to road conditions, and remember when passing to
make sure there's plenty of room to get around.
*■ mE TRUCKS SPACE - tgS*
Whether you're in front, beside, or behind a truck, leave plenty of room. Be cautious
when passing-a large truck may need 100 yards to come to a complete stop.
