While ice and snow may affect traffic only every few years in the Houston area, high water and winds from severe storms are more common. Twenty-nine environmental monitoring stations placed at strategic locations on freeways, frontage roads, HOV lanes, and arterial streets will provide advanced warning to government agencies and the traveling public when adverse weather conditions, especially high water, affect travel conditions. This project documents the system's capabilities, types of flooding, flood events, and equipment reliability. In addition, an evaluation of the motorist's understanding of the flood warning signs and of the delay impacts of a flood closure was conducted.
