Rock County Traffic Welcome and Links...........................

Emergencies/hazardous to life: 911
Rock County Dispatch at 608-757-2244

Welcome to all the new followers.

We are not affiliated with any government agency. We have three volunteers who try to maintain this page during our own breakfasts, our lunches and dinners while most people are on the roads. If you believe we need to report more traffic accidents, please note that we do not have cameras around town at every intersection, except for YOU. Please share what you see (safely) to our page for others to

see (Posts to Page). This isn't a perfect system, but it's all that is available with the volunteers we have. If you would like to volunteer, please message this page. More individuals will mean a better product for our community. We provide traffic, road and pertinent safety information for ROCK COUNTY, WI, and COMMUTING AREAS outside of the county. During peak travel times, like holidays, we will also report what we can for regional airports and other transportation needs. Weather is a major factor for drivers and residents. During severe weather, this page will help track storms by radar, notify of hail entering areas, and flash flooding. Scientific information as to why cars float in small amounts of water in a flash flood can help drivers understand why they shouldn't attempt a crossing. We also post information about national campaigns, such as Motorcycle Awareness Week, Lightning Awareness Week, etc., as the safety of Rock County citizens (and our visitors) is the main reason for this page. There will also be posts about automotive recalls, child seat reviews and other topics pertinent to vehicle owners. Because we live in a community, Public Service Announcements (PSA) will be shared, such as events around the county. Knowing when these events happen will 1) advertise the event and 2) notify drivers of more foot traffic in those areas -- and when. Other public service actions we provide include Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts and other missing persons, or stolen vehicles and those involved in a hit and run for Law Enforcement. If you have knowledge of a traffic incident or other pertinent information for commuters, please contact us, but do not text and drive. Please post on this page, send as a message to this page, or send a tweet to https://twitter.com/RockCo_Traffic . We will try to relay your message in a timely manner, if the board volunteers are active. This site and the Twitter account are not staffed 24/7 and staffed only by volunteers. We try to accommodate peak morning commutes and during hazardous weather conditions the best we can. If you would like to volunteer for this page and/or the Twitter account, send a private message (see button on main FB page). We would especially like to have individuals who can assist during mornings and/or evening rush hours. However, anytime of day accidents can happen, as the snow can fall during work hours. If you need to 'self-report' an incident to Janesville Police, use this form: http://cms.ci.janesville.wi.us/iFrame_Apps/IncidentReportForm.aspx

Harvest season is here, and you’ll likely see more slow-moving farm equipment on the roads. Be patient, give extra space, and drive with care—large equipment needs room to maneuver.

🚗 Motorists: allow extra travel time, slow down, share the road, and never pass illegally.
🚜 Farmers: travel safely, keep lights/reflectors visible, and pull over when safe and possible to help ease traffic.

Let's work together to keep Illinois roads safe this fall! Learn more: http://prez.ly/09ud

United States Border Patrol's interior checkpoints are located on U.S. highways and secondary roads, generally 25 to 100 miles from the national borders. [See map in comments]

At these checkpoints, all vehicles are stopped, and agents have the authority to briefly question motorists about their immigration status without needing suspicion. Agents also work to prevent the flow of illegal drugs and contraband and can enforce criminal law, though their authority to search a vehicle's interior is limited without consent or probable cause.

What to expect at a checkpoint:

Brief questioning: Agents will ask about your citizenship and immigration status.
Inspection: Agents can look at what is in "plain view" inside your vehicle.

Consent or probable cause: Border Patrol agents cannot search the interior of a vehicle without your consent or a reasonable belief that an immigration violation or crime has occurred (probable cause).

Documentation: You are not required to carry documentation, but you may have to answer questions about your citizenship status, according to the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Your rights at a checkpoint:
You have the right to remain silent: but doing so could cause delays or lead to further questioning, notes Goldstein Immigration Lawyers.
You can refuse consent for a search: if agents ask for permission.
You can ask if you are free to leave: and if you are not free, you can assert your right to an attorney.

Purpose of the checkpoints:

Deterrence: To deter illegal immigration and smuggling activities.

Enforcement: To prevent the illegal flow of people and contraband, such as drugs.

Criminal law enforcement: Agents can also enforce U.S. criminal law, such as by seizing illegal drugs or executing outstanding warrants.
