Safety reminders for autumn as we start dealing with falling leaves again On the road: Wet, slippery leaves make driving hazardous. Slow down when driving on leaves, especially around turns. Leave plenty of emergency stopping room. If the temperature drops below freezing, the wet leaves will freeze, making driving even more dangerous. Leaves littering the road can obscure painted lane markings, bumps or potholes, and other road hazards. Never drive through a raked leaf pile for a child (or pet) to burrow, jump or hide. Around your car: Keep your windshield clear to avoid wet leaves getting stuck under the wiper blades. hazard from the exhaust system or catalytic converter. At your home: Clean your gutters frequently. Leaf-clogged gutters (and downspouts) can create major damage by sending water into your home or breaking loose due to water weight. To avoid creating a falling hazard for pedestrians, keep your driveway and walkways clear of fallen leaves. If you use a leaf blower, dress properly in clothing that covers your skin to prevent injury. Wear appropriate eye protection, gloves and sturdy shoes as well. Think safety as you perform home chores. Use a sturdy, steady ladder for climbin lifting. City of Tukwila | 6200 Southcenter Blvd, Tukwila WA 98188 | 206 433-1800
