Allstate ranks Memphis 58th in the nation for the safest drivers, despite the state of Tennessee nearly leading the country in uninsured drivers.

The insurance company ranks the country's 200 largest cities in its annual Allstate America's Best Drivers Report. The report ranks cities in terms of car collision frequency.

Work crews are going to shut down Person Avenue between Hernando Road and Elvis Presley Boulevard starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to travel along the street, but it will be closed to motorists.

The Shelby County Health Department is advising people, especially those with breathing disorders, to spend as little time as possible outside on Wednesday due to poor air quality.

The health department has issued a Code Orange Ozone Advisory. The alerts are issued when “the ozone levels are forecast to exceed the 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standards,” according to health department officials.

Here are some tips to help reduce ozone levels from the health department:

• Refuel cars and mowers after 7 p.m.
• Carpool and combine daily errands
• Drive less during peak hours or hot days

To help reduce traffic, rides on MATA busses and trolleys will be 25 cents.
