The Mississippi Department of Transportation warned that roads could see increased traffic during the Ole Miss Football-LSU Football game, described in the advisory as a heavily anticipated rivalry matchup taking place in the Magnolia State.
The department also urged drivers to stay focused and avoid distracted driving, emphasizing that the safety warning applies regardless of the football schedule. “Distracted driving is dangerous & can cause you to lose a lot more than your reputation!” the department said.
