    The Florida Department of Transportation was monitoring flooding on the I-95 North ramp from County Road 210 Tuesday afternoon.

    A nearby traffic camera showed drivers splashing through water on the roadway.

    The flooding did not appear to be causing any backups, as of 2:30 p.m.

    It had receded as of 3:30 p.m.

    The National Weather Service had issued a Flood Advisory for St. Johns County until 3:30 p.m.

    The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) and the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) urge motorists to practice safe driving every day and take extra precautions during inclement weather.

    They also ask drivers take the following actions to protect themselves and others:

    TURN LIGHTS AND WIPERS ON. Florida law requires that if a vehicle’s wipers are in use, headlights must be on. To ensure high visibility, headlights should be clean and clear, and wipers should be replaced at least once a year.

    SLOW DOWN. Keep a safe stopping distance between vehicles and avoid passing and/or changing lanes. Wet pavement can result in skidding and hydroplaning. Be patient and stay alert. Use the right edge of the road or painted road markings as a guide.

    TURN AROUND; DON’T DROWN. Never drive through flooded areas. The area of roadway beneath the water may be washed out or may conceal debris or even power lines.
