Here in Mid-Missouri, the authorities go beyond the usual rule of “if the water is above the axle of the vehicle, don’t go”. Here they say...”if there is water on the road, turn around!!!”.

And just how is one to know where it gets deeper than the height of the axel? When water is covering a road, it is also hiding lots of visual references.

If I sounded like I thought the “turn around if there’s water on the
road” was too extreme, I goofed.

I think it’s better advice than the “go on if water is below the axle” advice.
