North Yorkshire has seen heavy rainfall and flooding over many areas.More rain is also expected across parts of the county over the course of this evening.
Police are advising people to keep an eye on the weather forecast and road conditions before they travel.
There are a number of flood warnings and alerts issued by the Environment Agency across all parts of North Yorkshire.
Superintendent Dave Hannan of North Yorkshire Police, said:
All agencies are working together to monitor the current flooding risk across North Yorkshire. There are currently a number of road closures in place across the county due to flooding.
It’s important that motorists check the weather forecast and only make journeys that are absolutely necessary and under no circumstances ignore road closure signs. It is impossible to judge the depth of flood water and you could put yourself and passengers at risk if you attempt it. Please also remember to adjust your driving to the current road conditions and arrive safely at your destination.
Over the coming hours and days, we will continue to monitor the situation in residential areas that are at risk, and working with local authority partners, will take the necessary action to ensure the safety of local residents.
