Strategic Infrastructure: The Flowood Crossroads
Flowood’s road network is a critical pillar of the Mississippi transport system. The city manages a high-utilization segment of MS Highway 25, which serves as the primary link between the capital city of Jackson and the residential communities of Rankin County. This infrastructure is complemented by MS Highway 468 (Flowood Drive), a vital artery that provides a high-capacity alternative for transit moving through the city's industrial and commercial core.
The scale of the network's utilization is significant, particularly on the Lakeland Drive corridor. According to MDOT reports, this segment handles approximately 45,000 vehicles per day, placing immense demand on the local interchanges. To manage this intensity, authorities utilize a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and the MDOT Traffic smart system, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be a peak-hour bottleneck near the I-55 junction or ongoing maintenance work—before they start their commute.

Did You Know?
Traffic in Mississippi drives on the right-hand side. In the Flowood region, the general speed limit on four-lane divided highways like MS 25 is typically 65 mph, but this is strictly reduced to 45 mph or lower within the dense commercial and school zones to ensure the safety of all road users.
Prioritizing Safety in the Jackson Metro
Road safety is a continuous priority for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and the Flowood Police Department Traffic Division. Mississippi has historically faced challenges with high traffic fatality rates, recording 24.9 deaths per 100,000 people in 2023—the highest rate in the nation. In the Flowood region, the combination of high-speed transit on the state highways and the high density of urban traffic requires constant driver vigilance.
The challenge of safety is amplified by the frequency of speeding and inattention-related incidents. According to safety reports, nearly one-third of all road deaths in the state involve excessive speed. TrafficVision empowers Flowood’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at the Airport Road intersection or heavy tropical rain on Flowood Drive before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness across the metropolitan area.
