 Ronald Bryan, KBOI News. With consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, the Idaho Transportation Department is urging motorists to prepare themselves and their vehicles for traveling in the extreme heat. ITD maintenance teams are taking proactive measures by actively checking on vehicles pulled over on the shoulder of the highway. This extra diligence aims to ensure the safety and well-being of drivers during record heat, as being stranded can quickly turn dangerous in these conditions.
