Paris — Here’s a look at work planned in Delta, Lamar, and Red River Counties for December 25, 2023. These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure, or other unforeseen issues. We advise motorists to remain alert, pay special attention to all signs, barricades, and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions like cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.

Safety Message: Drive Sober

TxDOT’s Drive Sober / No Regrets statewide impaired driving campaign encourages everyone to keep the holidays cheerful and safe by never getting behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.

Instead, designate a sober driver, use a rideshare service or taxi, stay put, call a friend or family member, or use public transportation to ensure you get home safely. If you see someone drinking at a holiday gathering, encourage them to find a sober ride or to stay put until they are straight. We all play a part in helping keep our roads safe.

Drunk driving crashes are entirely preventable, yet they can cause physical, emotional, and financial consequences that last for years. Alcohol-related crashes can cause life-altering, disabling, and permanent injuries for survivors — and they can be deadly. A DWI can cost up to $17,000 in fines and fees and lead to jail time, loss of a driver’s license, difficulty finding or keeping a job, loss of trust from loved ones, and a lifetime of regret.

Visit Sober Rides online to learn about the actual costs of driving impaired and tips for finding a sober ride. Follow the hashtag #DriveSoberNoRegrets to follow the campaign on social media.
