1 INTERACTION O s w e g o County O p p o rt u n i t i e s, I n c. July 2018 Monthly Driving TIP: Intersection Safety Drive for Safety Intersections are planned points of conflict in any roadway system. This includes U.S. and state highways, county roads and local streets. People some in motor vehicles, others walking or biking cross paths as they travel through or turn from one route to another. Where different paths separate, cross or join are known as conflict points, and these are always present at intersections. Therefore, it is not surprising that a major part of addressing road safety challenges involves intersections. In the United States, over the last several years an average of one-quarter of traffic fatalities and roughly half of all traffic injuries are attributed to intersections. Intersections can also become very congested when traffic volumes are high, creating inefficiency that results in user delay and frustration. They are a focal point for both safety and operations Strategies to address intersection safety are diverse. Many strategies are engineering based, including geometric design and application of traffic control devices (such as signs, markings and signals). Most of the intersection safety work by FHWA focuses on engineering all share a common foundation. The goal is simple: to prevent the severe types of crashes that can change lives forever. Begin With a Safe Approach to the Intersection 1. Start by making sure you are in the correct lane before you reach the intersection. Be aware of the blind spots of the other drivers and stay out of them. 2. Always signal your turn so other drivers know your intentions. 3. Avoid any distractions like loud music or conversation. Keep your hands on the wheel and be prepared to brake suddenly. Stay off your cell phone, do not apply makeup or eat food, and do not play with your radio. Distracted driving is one of the major cause of accidents at intersections, so make sure that you are fully paying attention to the drivers around you. 4. When slowing down, match the pace of the car in front of you.

2 Watch their brake lights to anticipate when they are going to slow down and when they have come to a complete stop. 5. Do not tailgate or rush the light. Tailgating and rushing the light reduces the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you, increasing your risk of accident if they stop suddenly. Tailgating behind larger vehicles can also impair your vision so you cannot adequately predict the traffic. 6. When pulling up to the intersection, keep a safe distance between your car and the car in front of you. One car length is recommended, so if you get rear-ended you will not crash into the car in front of you. 7. Inspect the intersection. Look for stoplights, stop signs, turning lights and restrictions, one way signs, road blocks or construction, pedestrians and crosswalks, and bike lanes. Be aware of anything that could potentially create a collision. Drive Defensively! 8. Watch for other vehicles. Watch the vehicles in front of you, behind you, beside you, and in oncoming traffic. Then look both ways to see where other vehicles are, what their intentions are at the intersection. Be aware of everyone s motivations, so that you can react defensively while you cross. 9. Keep your wheel straight and your foot on the brake while waiting to cross the intersection. Did you Know? Buzzzzz about safety! Keep Kids Safe In and Around the Car You should know that there are other dangers to children in and around cars. One of those dangers is hyperthermia, or heatstroke. Heatstroke can occur when a child is left unattended in a parked vehicle or gains unsupervised access. Never leave children alone in the car not even for a few minutes or with the engine running. Vehicles heat up quickly; if the outside temperature is in the low 80s, the temperature inside the vehicle can reach deadly levels in just a few minutes even with a window rolled down. A child s body temperature rises three to five times faster than that of an adult. Before you back out of a driveway or parking spot, prevent back overs by walking around your vehicle to check for children running and playing. When using a backup camera, remember that kids, pets and objects may still be out of view but in the path of your vehicle. When children play, they are often oblivious to cars and trucks around them. They may believe that motorists will watch out for them. Furthermore, every vehicle has a blind zone. As the size and height of a vehicle increases, so does the blind zone area. Large vehicles, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and vans, are more likely than cars to be involved in back overs. Be sure to lock your vehicle s doors at all times when it s not in use. Put the keys somewhere that children can t get to them. Children who enter vehicles on their own with no adult supervision can be killed or injured by power windows, seat belt entanglement, vehicle rollaway, heatstroke or trunk entrapment.

12 Subaru Ambassadors Food Drive benefits Food Pantry Each year in communities throughout the country, members of the Subaru Ambassador Program participate in Subaru s Day of Caring. The ambassadors are Subaru owners that represent the Subaru brand with honesty and enthusiasm and volunteer their time and talent to better their communities. This year, several local Subaru ambassadors held a food drive to benefit Oswego County Opportunities () food pantry. Our food drive was a bit different than most, said Subaru Ambassador Candra McFarlandGawarecki of. In addition to collecting donations of non-perishable foods for s food pantry we collected donations of pet food and pet toys. Many of the seniors that access Nutrition Services have pets that may be their only companion, their pets are a part of the family and they need nourishment as well. It s a topic that is overlooked and one of our goals with this food drive was to bring that to light. Candra, along with her husband Josh, teamed up with Subaru Ambassadors Meg Rheaume and her husband Todd, Renee Young and her son, Colin on coordinating the food drive and the drive culminated in a final collection day at Nutrition Services kitchen site in Mexico on June 16th. Our food drive was a success, said Candra. We collected several boxes of food along with an assortment of pet foods, including generous donations from Wegmans and BarkBox. Our wonderful host at s Nutrition Services Kitchen, Cheryl Maxfield, offered those in attendance a tour of the kitchen. They found it very rewarding to see how uses its resources to serve seniors throughout Oswego County every day! Subaru Ambassador Candra McFarland-Gawarecki (standing right) of Oswego County Opportunities () recently coordinated a food drive to collect non-perishable foods and pet foods for the agency s food pantry. Above are (from left) Meg and Todd Rheaume and Josh Gawarecki. Kneeling in front is Renee Young and her son Colin. Subaru Ambassador Emily Liepke (bottom) delivered a donation of BarkBoxes to Oswego County Opportunities () food pantry. The BarkBoxes, which contain an assortment of dog treats and toys, were donated as part of the Subaru Ambassadors Day of Caring. Page 12
