Tip of the Week

Winter Weather – Pedestrian Safety

Please be aware of pedestrian safety during the snow and ice season. Vehicles have a harder time stopping on slippery surfaces and snow piles can block a driver’s view of pedestrians.  Keep your eyes and ears on what’s going on around you. Use sidewalks that have already been cleared when available. Contact Physical Plant (x7504) to report slippery areas or those that need to be cleared.

Wear weather-appropriate shoes. Think about navigating snow and ice on foot when dressing.  Even on warmer days when snow begins melting, there can still be ice and slick spots — walk carefully.

If you are coming out from behind a snowbank, stop first and check to see if it is safe. You may be less visible because snow piles or glare off of the snow. Always check before entering or crossing a roadway.

Vehicles will have a harder time stopping during winter months, and your chances of slipping and falling on slippery surfaces are greater as well.  Don’t take chances.

Be careful on outside stairs that maybe slippery from ice or snow. Report issues to Physical Plant.

Stay away from roads and sidewalks when plows are trying to clear the snow, and from sanders as they treat the road surface. Don’t walk in front of snow plows. Make sure the driver sees you and wait for them to pass before crossing.

Be aware.  Look out for plows and vehicles, walk cautiously and pay attention to the walkway ahead.
