Back-to-School Traffic Safety
With school starting next week, I challenge and
encourage every man, woman, and child in Rocklin to
obey all traffic laws and to use good judgment and
common sense as they travel around town. There will
be thousands of children making their way to and from
school each day, and the volume of pedestrian, bicycle,
and vehicle traffic is sure to heavy.
The Rocklin Police Department will have additional
officers working during the first few days of school to
provide traffic safety and enforcement around our
schools. Sergeant Bob Martin and Officers Casey
Finney and Jeff Amado will be patrolling on
motorcycles, and School Resource Officers Brad Alford,
Chris Osborne, and Larry Muldoon will be out in their
patrol cars. Additionally, all Rocklin police officers will
be asked to spend time patrolling the streets around the
schools located within their beats.
You can do your part, too. Please take the time to
discuss the following traffic laws and safety tips with
every member of your family so you can avoid citations,
accidents, injuries, and personal tragedy:



Bicyclists:



Drivers:







Expect the unexpected. Watch for pedestrians and
bicyclists that suddenly appear from behind parked
cars, buses, or other obstructions.
Allow extra time getting to school.
Be careful where you stop to drop your children off.
Park in a legal place. Don’t drop your children off
in the middle of the roadway where they will be
more likely to create a hazard and/or be struck by a
car. Follow your local school parking rules to keep
traffic flowing smoothly.
Remember to stop for school buses that display their
“stop signs and warning lights.”
Drivers should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians
crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk
or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
Whenever any vehicle has stopped at a crosswalk to
allow a pedestrian to cross the street, the driver of
any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall
not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.
Drivers shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians
before driving over or upon any sidewalk.
Pedestrians:

It’s against the law for a pedestrian to suddenly
leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run
into the path of a vehicle which is so close as to
constitute an immediate hazard.
No pedestrian shall unnecessarily stop or delay
traffic within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
Pedestrians shall not cross the roadway at any place
except in a crosswalk between adjacent intersections
that are controlled by traffic control signal devices
or by police officers. Don’t “jaywalk”.
No pedestrian shall stand in a roadway for the
purpose of hitch-hiking.



Every person riding a bicycle upon a highway has
all the rights and is subject to all the provisions
applicable to the driver of a vehicle. In other words,
bicyclists who run stop signs, ride on the wrong side
of the roadway, ride during darkness without proper
lighting, or ride at speeds that are unsafe for
conditions, are subject to the same enforcement as
people who drive vehicles.
Any person under the age of 18 must wear an
approved helmet while riding a bicycle. It must also
fit properly and be securely fastened.
No person shall ride a bicycle which is of such a
size as to prevent the operator from safely stopping
the bicycle, supporting it in an upright position with
at least one foot on the ground, and restarting it in a
safe manner.
It is unlaw for a bicyclist to allow people to ride on
the handlebars, to pull someone on a skateboard,
roller skates, etc., or to be pulled by a vehicle.
Bicyclists should ride as close as possible to the
right side of the roadway.
Many bicycle accidents result from riders pulling
out from behind or between parked cars. This is
very dangerous.
Need Help From The Fire Department?
(By Lisa Marquez – Rocklin Fire Department)
Since every second counts in an emergency,
there are things you can do to assist those who
will respond to your call for help.
Is Your Address Visible?

To assist emergency personnel in quickly
locating the appropriate address, make sure
your address numbers are easily seen from
the street. Reflective or illuminated
numbers are best for nighttime visibility.
Homeowners:

Make sure your address is clearly readable at
night, 100 feet or more from either direction,
by vehicles traveling on the main roadway.

The numbers should be at least 4 inches tall,
and should contrast with the color of your
house.

If you share a main driveway with multiple
homeowners, make sure a clearly visible
address marker for all addresses is posted on
the main driveway, as well as an address
marker at the entrance to each individual
home’s driveway.
Apartments:


Complex address numbers should be at least
6 inches tall, contrast with the background,
and be visible from the street.
Post apartment numbers conspicuously,
contrasting with background, and at least
three inches in height.
Are the Fire Hydrants Visible?

In the event of a fire, firefighters may need
to get to a hydrant for water supply. An
obstruction of fencing, tree branches,
bushes, weeds or brush may cause a delay as
firefighters try to get to the water source
needed to extinguish your fire.

Make sure there is a 3-foot clearance of
debris and obstructions around fire hydrants.

The reflective blue buttons in the middle of
the street or at intersections help firefighters
locate the nearest fire hydrant.


A fire hydrant that is leaking, broken,
missing caps or malfunctioning, as well as a
broken or missing reflective blue button,
should be reported to the Rocklin Fire
Department at (916) 625-5300.
Don't block a fire hydrant by parking a vehicle
next to it. Vehicles cannot be parked any closer
than 15 feet to a fire hydrant from any direction.
Remember, your actions may cause a delay in
being able to supply water to an emergency that
continues to grow until intervention takes place.
