Please follow these tips to drive safely on the day of the solar eclipse:

• Don’t stop along the interstate or park on the shoulder during the event.
• Exit the highway to safe location to view and/or photograph the eclipse.
• Don’t take photographs while driving!
• Don’t try to wear opaque eclipse glasses while operating a vehicle.
• Turn your headlights on -- do not rely on your automatic headlights when the eclipse blocks out the sun.
• Watch out for pedestrians along smaller roads. People may be randomly parking and walking alongside the roadside in the hours around the eclipse to get the best view.
• Prepare for extra congestion especially on the interstates in the path on the day before, day of and day after the eclipse.
• Avoid travel during the eclipse or in the area of the main path if you can.
