Road Safety Reminder for the week of July 6 – July 12, 2026

As America marks its 250th anniversary, Guam continues to build on the promise of a stronger, more connected nation—one road, one project, and one community at a time. The Department asks everyone to celebrate the festivities safely and responsibly.

If you are drinking, do not drive. Call a taxi, ride-sharing service, or a sober friend.

If someone you know has been drinking, do not let them get behind the wheel. Help them arrange for sober driver to take them home.

If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact local law enforcement. Your actions could help save someone's life.

Be Safe Guam!
