Heat Could Cause Bleeding Roads

(Hillsboro, OR) -- Officials are reminding residents that extreme heat can cause roads to bleed. The Washington County Department of Transportation says drivers need to use caution, because the oils can make the roads slick. The hot temperatures and heavy traffic can cause oil from the asphalt to move to the surface. The roads will appear oily or sound tacky when this happens. Drivers should especially use caution stopping or going around corners.
