As temperatures rise and an increased number of motorcycles are traveling on our roadways, the Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding drivers and motorcyclists to share the road, be alert and driver sober.
November 1, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, Ohio Department of Public Safety: (COLUMBUS, Ohio) – The Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO), a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, is reminding drivers about some driving hazards that can lead to crashes when Daylight Saving Time ends. For the last three years, Ohio saw an average 15.7% increase in total crashes from September to November. Drowsy Driving: The first full week in November after Daylight Saving Time ends is the National Sleep Foundation’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. This is because, even though people get an extra hour of sleep the night Daylight Saving Time ends, on Sunday, Nov. 3 this year, sleep patterns are altered, which can lead to drowsy driving.
As harvest season approaches, drivers in rural areas are facing a safety issue. Tall corn fields are presenting a sight obstruction for motorists at intersections. The height and thickness of the corn make visibility a challenge for drivers to safely maneuver through intersections and see oncoming traffic. The Allen County Engineer's Office has been contacted by residents about solutions to this problem and how they can work with farmers to help increase visibility for drivers until the corn is harvested in the fall.
The Ohio Department of Transportation says that roadways will take more time to properly clear off due to high winds and low visibility. ODOT Drivers are trying their best to lay down material to clear off ice and snow but the weather is not fully cooperating.
