Litter Patrol Ahead

One more safety item is a movable road sign indicating that people are working ahead. All government programs ask that road signs be used for safety reasons.

When I first started to patrol for road litter, it was totally unpractical for me to use government supplied road signs and safety equipment. It was far more dangerous and unrealistic for me to drive across the peninsula to get the signs, return to where I would pick up road litter and set them up. Then shuffle around moving them as I progressed down the road to meet government spacing regulations. Then return them to the other side of the peninsula and drive back home. That would have been over a 40 mile trip compared to a 2 mile trip if I did not go after the signs.

However, if signs are set up it does add a bit of awareness that people are working ahead which could be construed as additional security. If signs can be easily set up without additional risks and unpractical situations, I endorse their use. That is why EnviroCorps purchased some road signs for volunteers to use.
