safety first
Please Make Room For Roadside Crews
W
hen the power goes out, so do Kay Electric’s line crews. Lineworkers are the first to respond after an outage occurs, and they work tirelessly to restore power to the communities we serve.
If you’re traveling and see one of our crews on the side of the road, we kindly ask that you move over if possible and give them a little extra space to work. We deeply care about the safety of all, and this extra precaution ensures just that.
If you approach a crew while traveling on a two-lane road, moving over to the next lane might not be an option. In this case, we simply ask that you slow down when approaching roadside crews. If you approach a crew while traveling on a four-lane road, and safety and traffic conditions allow, we ask that you move over into the far lane.
Utility crews aren’t the only ones who could use the extra space. Emergency responders, such as police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians, often find themselves responding to emergency situations near busy roadways.
Oklahoma’s Move Over law requires any driver approaching a parked maintenance, law enforcement or emergency vehicle to move over into another lane, if possible. If unable to safely change lanes, the driver should proceed with “due caution” and slow to “a safe speed for the existing road, weather, and traffic conditions.”
Drivers must move over for:
• Oklahoma Department of Transportation or Oklahoma Turnpike Authority maintenance vehicles;
Kay Electric Cooperative takes safety seriously. If you spot a downed power line or unsafe electrical situation, please call us immediately at 800- 535-1079 or report it by calling 911.
• In 2015, 521 people were injured in 1,130+ collisions in Oklahoma highway work zones.
• 13 people were killed in Oklahoma work zone collisions in 2015.
• Most work zone collisions were caused by driver inattention, traveling at unsafe speeds or following too close.
