Many areas in the city flood easily, and motorists are being asked to drive with care during rainy conditions.

In a statement, JRA has urged the public to:
- Drive cautiously and avoid flooded areas.
- Report any road damage or blockages immediately.
- Stay informed about weather warnings and advisories.
