ODOT releases public safety message regarding 1-5 bridge construction

(Notice the hand-made scarf in safety yellow!)

Construction Zone Flaggers--efficient and friendly. (photo and caption: Katura Reynolds)

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) have created a couple public safety videos to help advise cyclists who are navigating the 1-5 bridge construction on the river path.  If I were to summarize the videos, I would say something like: “Hey, this bridge is neat and we are improving the bike paths, so please obey our flaggers or you could get run over by something heavy.”

As WBE contributor Katura previously reported, the flaggers are nice and courteous, and not looking to slow anyone down unduly. They are there to keep us safe.

Take the jump to see the two videos.
