Boone County, IN – Drivers in Boone County are being advised to slow down and remain cautious Sunday afternoon after officials lowered the county’s travel status to Yellow as of 12 p.m. today.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, routine travel and activities are now permitted, but hazardous conditions may still exist in certain areas of the county. Authorities say some locations could remain affected, and residents should use caution or avoid those areas altogether.
A Yellow travel advisory indicates that while roads are generally passable, drivers may encounter isolated hazards such as lingering debris, weather-related impacts, or other unsafe conditions. Officials stress that the advisory is not an “all clear” and that situational awareness is still important.
The sheriff’s office did not specify which areas remain affected or what hazard prompted the advisory, but residents are encouraged to monitor local updates and avoid unnecessary travel through problem spots.
Boone County is located northwest of Indianapolis in central Indiana, and travel advisories in the area can impact commuters heading toward the metro region, especially on major routes connecting to I-65 and surrounding state roads.
Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra travel time, and watch for emergency crews or changing conditions. Additional updates may be issued if conditions improve or deteriorate.
Residents can follow the Boone County Sheriff’s Office on social media for real-time alerts and local emergency updates.
