[DelKathryn]

Highways may be closed during heavy rainstorms. Here are specific guidelines for driving on highways during heavy rain: 1. Do not stop in the emergency lane: If you encounter heavy rain while driving on the highway, never stop in the emergency lane. 2. Use proper lighting: Turn on all lights except high beams, drive slowly, and exit the highway as soon as possible to the nearest service area or exit. 3. Maintain a safe distance: In heavy rain with poor visibility, keep a sufficient safety distance from the vehicle ahead and follow the flow of traffic. 4. Special precautions: Avoid overtaking, unnecessary lane changes, and sudden stops.
