• With winter fading into the background and better weather all around, you'd think the roads would finally be safe again. This isn't always the case.
• Rainy days and flooding - Slippery roads reduce your car's handling and increase the distance it takes to stop (up to 4 times normal stopping distance). Big puddles can also cut down on tire traction and could lead to hydroplaning.
• Hail Season - Beware of hailstorms, even small hailstones can shatter windshields, and raining balls of ice are never good for the roads .
• Winter road wear and tear - In many states, winter wreaks havoc on the roads. Snow plows, salt, sand, and the aftermath of ice can all leave roads a bit battered. Once snow melts away, expect to drive over new potholes.
• Animal activity - Animals are incredibly active during the spring. Some are emerging from hibernation, and others are entering mating season. This could mean that more animals are crossing streets and roaming around. Many animals, especially deer, are most active at dawn or dusk.
• More bicycles on the road - Spring also brings cyclists out of hibernation. Driving alongside cyclists can make traffic maneuvers, from turning right to parallel parking, more dangerous.

March Safety Message – Dangers of Spring Driving

March Safety Message – Dangers of Spring Driving
• Check your lights. Since spring rain hinders driving visibility, make sure all your lights work, including headlights, taillights, backup lights, turn signals, parking lights, and brake lights.
• Replace your wiper blades. Worn-out wiper blades may not be up to the task of clearing water away from your windshield. Check your wiper blades and replace them if necessary (usually once a year).
• Check your tire pressure. Harsh winter weather can deflate your tires. Make sure you have enough air in them once spring rolls around. (As a bonus, proper tire pressure can also help you increase your mpg.)
• Slow down and drive carefully. The first few rainy days of spring can produce exceptionally slippery roads due to oil and other leaked fluids mixing with rainwater, so slow down and increase your stopping distance when it's raining.
• Keep your eyes peeled for bad road conditions. Remember that harsh winter weather breeds potholes and other driving obstacles.
• Watch out for animals. This is especially important during the early morning and evening when animals are most active.

Bridge Strike Safety Bulletin
• Multiple personnel involved in the load out failed to realize that the loaded equipment was well above the legal height restrictions
– Personnel involved all became too focused on individual job tasks, and failed to survey the entire situation
– All involved personnel failed to utilize Stop Work Authority
– Driver took ownership the moment he decided to depart pickup location without verifying dimensions
– Driver believed other personnel would have initiated SWA if required
10
• All drivers need to be trained to
reference the height of trucks to ensure
all transported equipment is below
legal height restrictions.
• All loads with the potential to be over
dimensions need to be accurately
measured by the driver before
departing pickup location.
