Why do people drive around barricades?? Here are a few reasons...... Around where I live, they go overboard closing streets and blocking off main roads. I have seen them close a road for just an inch of water. And, this was after the rain had stopped and there was no further danger of flooding. Then there are the ones that just want to get HOME after a long day at whatever they do all day. Now, when the route is blocked, they turn around and take another route only to find that one also blocked. Frustration sets in and finally, they go around a barrier. Most times (at least around here) there is no problem with doing that. Worst case is usually a stalled car or getting stuck in a pothole that they did not see. Most of the time, the potential danger is disregarded something like in the little boy who cried WOLF!!! After a while, you see a barricade in a spot that you travel often, and KNOW that the water cannot be over a couple of inches deep, and just go for it.
As for myself, if I see running or rapid water, I find another route. If I see water flowing over a small bridge, I do not try to cross it. In any case, if I do not KNOW how deep the water is, I find another route.
