    Flashing yellow arrow signals keep drivers safer during heavy traffic & reduce delays when traffic is light. At a flashing yellow arrow, drivers can turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic & pedestrians. Otherwise, these traffic signals work the same as traditional ones.

    Each year, dozens of kids are forgotten or left behind in the back seat. Parked cars get hot, fast – and can be deadly to kids. A cracked window isn’t enough to prevent heatstroke. Always check the back seat before leaving your car. Visit NHTSA.gov/Heatstroke to learn more.

    It's pothole repair season! So far this year, our crews across PA have used 146k+ tons of asphalt to fill potholes caused by PA's freeze/thaw cycle. That's over 5x heavier than the Statue of Liberty! See a pothole on a state road near you? Report it to customercare.penndot.pa.gov.

    Did you know? Once you bring in the required documents, pay the $30 one-time fee & get your first REAL ID, you’re set! When your REAL ID expires, you can renew just like you always have: no extra documents or fees beyond the regular renewal fee. More info: pa.gov/REALID

    Here’s your sign to slow down & pay attention! Unfortunately, last construction season, drivers breached PennDOT work zones 430 times, injuring 16 workers. Always follow the speed limit when driving through a work zone. Respect the zone, so everyone goes home. #WorkZoneSafety

    Earlier today, crews began sliding the new Commercial Street Bridge into place along the Parkway East in Pittsburgh. It's a slow, precise operation using a specialized skidding system to move the 22-million-pound bridge. Watch our progress live at pa.gov/CommercialStBr….

    Drivers should know their personal/rented truck height – 511PA can help! 511PA.com’s PennDOT Bridges and Low Bridge map layers will show low-clearance bridges on your route. Plus, the 511PA app offers low-bridge audio alerts for commercial vehicles in drive mode.

    Today we remember Constantine Kozloski, a PennDOT employee who died in the line of duty in 1970. May we never forget him and his legacy of service to our Commonwealth. #WeRemember
