&nbsp;(Lincoln, Neb.) — As Husker fans make their way to Memorial Stadium, the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) urges drivers to prioritize safety on the road. Remember to buckle up as you navigate gameday and shopping traffic.&nbsp;

Wearing your seatbelt can save lives in rear-end collisions and other incidents, especially on high-traffic routes. Preparing for a fun day at Memorial Stadium should always include wearing your seatbelt the right way. Your seat belt should be placed across the middle of your chest, away from your neck, and across your hips, not your abdomen. Your seatbelt should never be behind your back or under your arm.&nbsp;

And once you’ve bucked up, put your phone down! At 55 miles per hour, sending or reading a text message takes the equivalent time of driving the entire length of a football field with your eyes closed. Your focus on the road is crucial for your safety and the safety of others.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Drivers should also prepare for potential traffic slowdowns before and after the game. NDOT recommends fans heading to the stadium consider the following routes:&nbsp;

Drivers traveling to Lincoln from the east should use the two left lanes on Interstate 80 (I-80) to allow traffic traveling to Nebraska Crossing to utilize the right lane.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Additionally, the southeast exit from Nebraska Crossing and the left turn lane on Nebraska Highway 31 will be closed.&nbsp;

When coming to the game, drivers arriving in Lincoln on I-80 from the west should take Exit 397 (south U.S. Highway 77 (US-77)) to Rosa Parks Way into downtown Lincoln. Drivers arriving in Lincoln on I-80 from the east should take Exit 401 to south Interstate 180 (I-180) into downtown Lincoln.&nbsp;

When leaving the game, drivers should avoid Exit 409 between Lincoln and Waverly as it may be closed due to safety concerns as heavy interstate traffic builds. This may significantly increase traffic on US-6 and cause slowdowns. Leaving downtown Lincoln immediately after the game can put you in heavy traffic. Spending some extra time in town may allow traffic to ease up and provide a smoother ride home.&nbsp;

Within Lincoln, there are several active City of Lincoln construction projects. More information can be found at the City of Lincoln’s street closures map. Fans are reminded that the University of Nebraska has implemented a clear bag policy to enter Memorial Stadium.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Drivers are encouraged to be patient, allow extra time to get to their destinations, plan ahead, and check www.511.nebraska.gov for real time traffic information. Stay safe – buckle up, phone down, avoid distractions, and adjust your speed and following distance if you encounter a slowdown. If drivers are in a crash during gameday traffic, move both vehicles to the shoulder, if possible, before reporting the incident.&nbsp;
