ADOPT - A - LOUISVILLE STREET SAFETY RULES 1. ALWAYS WEAR FURNISHED ORANGE SAFETY VEST. This vest is to provide motorists with the ability to see the workers and is necessary for the worker's safety. 2. STAY OFF THE TRAVELED WAY WHEREVER POSSIBLE. The workers should be off the pavement and in the shoulder area for maximum safety when working. Divide into two groups to patrol both sides of the road at one time and minimize crossing the roadway. 3. KEEP CHILDREN OFF ROADWAY AND WITHIN SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES. We discourage the participation of children due to safety reasons, but sometimes this is unavoidable. Children must be supervised by a responsible adult in order to avoid dangerous situations. Also, please leave your pets at home. 4. PARK VEHICLES AWAY FROM AREA TO BE CLEANED. Vehicles parked along the roadside in the cleanup area causes workers to walk in the roadway, creating a dangerous situation. Carpooling is an effective way to reduce the number of vehicles at the site and also conserve energy and minimize pollution. 5. OBSERVE ALL PEDESTRIAN LAWS AND SAFETY PRACTICES. This includes, but is not limited to, facing oncoming traffic when walking along shoulders, looking both directions before crossing, crossing at corners when possible, etc. Remember, this is for your protec- tion. 6. KEEP FILLED LITTER BAGS OFF OF ROADWAY IN SHOULDER AREA. This keeps the traveled way clear for motorists and safer for pedestri- ans. 7. NOTIFY THE LOUISVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. Dial 911 in case any emergency arises. 8. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS TO DRIVERS. Being discourteous to drivers only creates more problems and can endanger other workers in the area. If a situation arises where a motorist is creating problems for the operation, notify the Louisville Police Department immedi- ately (441-4444) as they are trained to deal with criminal and dangerous acts. Do not take the law into your own hands. 9. DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR THE WEATHER AND TAKE NECESSARY PRECAU- TIONS. Clothing, liquids, and protection from the elements are all vital for a safe and healthy day. 10. ENJOY YOURSELVES. This is a community effort that is to be congratulated. The City of Louisville is proud to have citizens like you willing to make the county a better place to live.
