There is significant surface water and areas of flooding across parts of the force today. There is widespread disruption of the roads particularly across Exeter, East and Mid Devon this morning, with many roads becoming impassable.
*Please do not travel in those areas (Exeter, East and Mid Devon) at this time unless you urgently need to.*
We are experiencing an increase in reports of people coming up against flood water. Please do not attempt to drive through it. The weather is improving but rivers are still responding to earlier heavy rainfall.
Emergency services and partner agencies are working together to respond to incidents and close roads.
TRAVEL GUIDANCE
If you know the roads you usually use are likely to flood – please avoid them. Do not attempt to drive through flood water.
If you are using the roads, please drive with caution and care, drive to the conditions and allow plenty of time for your journey. You should also increase your distance from other vehicles and stay attentive to your surroundings.
Your safety and the safety of others depend on responsible driving during adverse weather conditions.
