Summertime is a busy time for people enjoying the outdoors, especially kids soaking up the sun during the day. Cottonwood County Sherriff Jason Purrington offers his biggest tip to drivers regarding pedestrians…
Purrington emphasizes drivers should stop for people both in crosswalks and not in crosswalks…
Purrington says when drivers stop to allow people to cross the street, make sure to make eye contact with pedestrians so it’s as clear as possible to whoever is crossing the street that you are stopping to allow them to cross the street safely. Purrington also offers tips to those who are walking and want to cross the street…
Purrington adds if you’re walking at night, to wear something highly visible and reflective and to cross the street in a well-lit area. For pedestrians it’s recommended you walk against traffic and for those riding a bicycle to bike with traffic.
Purrington gives his final tip that if you’re riding a bicycle on a roadway to try move over as much as you can to allow traffic to pass you and if you’re driving past a person on a bicycle to slow down and be patient until you can safely pass the person on a bike.
During the Murray County Board of Commissioners meeting Tuesday, the commission heard an update from Jay Trusty about the Southwest Regional Develpment Commission, approved ditch bills, and got an update from Ditch Inspector Travis Radke about ditch inspection repairs-Radke said some of those repairs are running behind schedule because the work is taking longer than originally expected, but Radke said the crews on those projects have given those projects top priority so hopefully they can get back on track.
