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.

Test smoke alarms when turning clock forward
Sunday, March 11, marks the
beginning of daylight saving
time and serves as a good
reminder for Oregonians to test
their smoke alarms.
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.
