Drive 5: Adam Owens monitors Wake County road conditions

YOU CAN ALSO SEE THEM IF YOU

SCROLL AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR

SCREEN .

>> SOME OF THE MAJOR ROADS IN

OUR AREA WERE BONE DRY, AND

THAT MAY LEAVE YOU WONDERING

WHY THE SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED FOR

A SECOND DAY.

OUR REPORTER IS HERE TO GIVE US

A FIRSTHAND LOOK TO THAT

QUESTION.

ADAM, SHOW US WHAT YOU HAVE

BEEN SEEING ON THE ROADS

TONIGHT.>> Reporter: A REALLY

GOOD ILLUSTRATION IS THIS

NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD THAT WE ARE ON

AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHY THE

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED.

SOME ROADS IF YOU ARE RIDING

AROUND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK

GREAT, AND OTHERS DO NOT AS IT

IS A HIT AND MISS SITUATION.

SOME OF THE AREAS ARE COVERED

OVER WITH SNOW AND ICE, AND

OTHER AREAS MAY BE CLEANER

WHERE THE ROAD CREWS COULD GET

TO THEM.

MAJOR ROADS LOOK GENERALLY GOOD

BUT ARE STILL I SEE IN SPOTS.

YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT ANY

OF THE MOISTURE WILL EYES OVER

THIS EVENING IN THESE COLD

TEMPERATURES.

SCHOOLS IN WAKE COUNTY, AS WE

MENTIONED, ARE CLOSE TOMORROW,

AND THE DISTRICT LEADERS HAVE

TO CONSIDER CONDITIONS ALL OVER

THE COUNTY WITH A MAKE A

DETERMINATION FOR THIS.

WE TOOK A LOOK EARLIER TODAY IN

THE CARPOOL LANE WHERE THERE

WAS ICE.

YOU CONSIST THAT'S BUT YOU CAN

CONSIDER SPOTS LIKE SOUTH

GARNER HIGH SCHOOL, AND YOU CAN

SEE THAT THE PAVEMENT IS MORE

CLEAR.

IT IS VERY HIT AND MISS.

THE BIG RULE OF THUMB IS THAT

IF YOU HAVE TO GO OUT FOR ANY

REASON, THEN BE SAFE.

>> IT IS ALWAYS BETTER SAFE
