7 Construction Safety Tips You Should Know

During light rail construction it may be more challenging to get in and around the areas near The Tide route. We are committed to making sure that everyone who interacts with the light rail system does so safely. This includes construction contractors as well as motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and children walking to and from school. We care about your safety. So please take a moment and review these construction safety tips:

Construction Zone Safety
Tip #1 - Always walk on the sidewalk or designated walkway.
Tip #2 - Enter the street only at a designated crosswalk. Crossing              at any other place increases the likelihood of an accident.
Tip #3 - Pay close attention to all posted signs. This will reduce the              possibility of an incident.
Tip #4 - Avoid going near a construction zone whenever possible.
Tip #5 - Never enter a construction site. Heavy machinery and              debris can be hazardous.
Tip #6 - Construction vehicles move quickly and suddenly. Maintain              a safe distance and always be prepared for sudden stops              and wide turns.
Tip #7 - Avoid using a cellular phone when near a construction              zone.  Staying alert to your surroundings reduces the              likelihood of an incident.

Set an example by obeying the rules and sharing the message:
"Stay Alert, Don't Get Hurt!"
