PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Bureau of Transportation is reminding drivers to use extra caution over the next several days with the forecasted strong rain and winds.
PBOT says ponds can appear on the roads in spots in a hurry with strong fall storms. Especially when the storm is one of the first big ones of the season and there are a lot of leaves that still need to come off trees.
They say sometimes ponds can appear because of leaves blocking storm drains. Other times it’s due to construction or just the shape of the roads working together with gravity.
When in doubt, they say it’s best just to use caution, slow down and call the city if you notice any particularly bad spots.
