POLICE have warned people travelling in Worcester - whether on foot or by vehicle - to adhere to safety advice.
Traffic management adviser for South Worcestershire Police, Mike Digger said: "If a road is closed, has barriers blocking access or any representatives from the police or other authorities advise not to enter an area, we would urge people to act on of that advice.
"Those measures are in place for a reason and are there for the safety of everyone. Water levels can be deceiving and there can be many hidden dangers in floodwater.
"Therefore, we would ask people not to enter floodwater, or any areas closed to the public, to avoid putting their own safety at risk as well as unnecessary pressure on the emergency services."
Water levels in the River Severn in Worcester and are expected to peak some time this afternoon. Hylton Road currently remains open to traffic. Grandstand Road (leading to Sabrina Bridge and Pitchcroft Racecourse) is currently closed to traffic.
