(KFVS) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is reminding drivers that during a long dry spell oil and other residue can build up on road surfaces.

Rain moving across the region today can float a film of oil to the road surface and make for hazardous driving conditions.

Drivers are reminded to slow down and use appropriate caution during the widespread rain moving across the region this afternoon and evening. Some severe thunderstorms are possible.

According to KYTC, drivers are reminded that whenever it rains hard enough to require windshield wipers you should turn on your headlights to improve your visibility out on the road.

(KFVS) - Kentucky State Police will be taking part in two highway safety initiatives in an effort to reduce deadly and serious injury collisions on Kentucky Highways.

Starting Tuesday, troopers in the Post One district will be taking part in the Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks enforcement mobilization. This highway safety initiative focuses on hazardous moving violations by commercial motor vehicles or other vehicles in close proximity to commercial motor vehicles.

According to KSP, the enforcement areas of Interstate 24 and the Julian Carroll Parkway have been selected based upon crash data along those roadways. Post One’s participation in the TACT enforcement period runs though May 19.

Starting the weekend of May 19, troopers will also take part in the national Click It or Ticket campaign. This annual highway safety initiative will mostly focus on things like seatbelt, child restraint and booster seat violations.
