General Information
    
Chances are your road has a gravel surface. Just a warning, during the spring thaw and extended periods of wet weather they get soft, rutted, and sloppy and muddy and at times are difficult to travel. During extended dry periods they get washboarded and are very dusty.
     As a rural resident you will want to drive on safe roads. Please report any unsafe conditions that you may encounter while traveling to your township, or the county road department. Report any downed or damage road signs, the life you save may be your own.
      As a reminder to rural Beadle County residents, please be aware of your 911 address, the township and the section number in which you live. Having this will assist us and will provide valuable time-saving info in the event of emergencies.
