SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 2018 3 A Pedestrian Enforcement FRAA features artwork of late Henry Evans Operation on March 17 On March 17, 2018, the Florence Police Department will conduct a Pedestrian Enforcement Operation at Highway 101 and 15th Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It will be canceled if it is raining. Under Oregon law, a cross- walk exists at any public street intersection, whether marked with paint or unmarked. Crosswalks also exist between intersections (mid-block) where indicated with white paint. At a traffic signal, drivers must: • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane in which the driver is traveling and the adjacent lane. • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane into which the driver’s vehicle is turning and at least 6 feet of the adjacent lane. At any other crosswalk – those without a signal – driv- ers must: • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane in which the driver is traveling and the adjacent lane. • Stop and remain stopped for pedestrians until they have cleared the lane into which the driver’s vehicle is turning and the adjacent lane. • Stop and remain stopped for students crossing (or about to cross) a street under the direction of a crossing guard. • Stop and remain stopped for a blind or blind and deaf pedestrian using a cane or a guide dog, until the pedestrian is completely across the road- way. A stopped car may be a clue that a pedestrian is crossing. Don't pass until you know what is going on. In fact, it is not only unsafe but also illegal in Oregon to pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian. Giving pedestrians more space and slowing down in their presence can save lives. Pedestrians struck by vehicles at 40 mph have an 85 percent chance of dying in the colli- sion. That death rate drops to 15 percent at 20 mph.

The Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal is urging residents to test their smoke alarms before automatically changing the batteries. “Smoke alarm technology has advanced and many now come with 10-year batteries and some are tamper-resistant,” said State Fire Marshal Jim Walker. “So, I encourage resi- dents to test their alarms before changing the battery, and to be sure to replace any smoke alarm that is 10 years old or older.” Oregon law requires ioniza- tion-only smoke alarms that are solely battery powered to come equipped with a hush feature and a 10-year battery. Because of this technology, the national slogan “Change your clock, change your battery” may not apply to Oregon residents who have these ionization-only smoke alarms. Other types of alarms are also being sold with either a 10-year battery or a standard- life battery. “Ensuring you have working smoke alarms in your home is the single most important step you can take to increase your family’s safety from a home fire,” adds Walker. To test your alarm properly we recommend you: 1) Push the test button to be sure the battery is working. 2) When replacing batteries, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct bat- tery type to use. 3) Always retest alarms after installing new batteries. 4) Replace any alarm that fails to operate after installing a new battery. 5) Inspect your alarms to determine if they are 10 years old or older, and replace any smoke alarm 10 years old or older. Look for a date on the back of the alarm. If there is no date, your alarm is more than 10 years old and should be replaced. 6) Follow the manufactur- er’s instructions for regularly cleaning your alarms of dust and cobwebs. Working smoke alarms provide a critical early warning to a fire, allowing you vital minutes to escape, which increase your chances of sur- vival. Additional safety tips: • Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, in each bedroom, and outside each sleeping area (hallway). • Never disconnect or remove batteries from smoke alarms for other uses. • Use the smoke alarm’s hush feature to silence nui- sance alarms. • Make a home fire escape plan and practice it with family members. • Practice you home fire escape plan at least two times a year at different times of the day/night. • Children, older adults and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Ensure that someone will help them.
