flooded road
Impassable wet street
A flooded road is a roadway covered with water, typically from heavy rain, overflowing rivers, or storm surge.
Warning signs mark areas prone to flooding: Turn around, don't drown—never drive through a flooded road.
The phrase appears in weather advisories and traffic reports when conditions make roads impassable or dangerous.
