Bend, Ore. – The Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee encourages residents and business owners to adjust irrigation systems to prevent hazardous walking and biking conditions.
Although fall is here, many people are still running their sprinklers. With the onset of freezing nighttime temperatures, it’s a good idea to make sure sprinklers aren’t set to spray onto nearby streets and sidewalks.
Freezing temperatures can quickly turn irrigation overspray into icy hazards for pedestrians and cyclists.
Over the years, icy sidewalks and streets have caused accidents for both cyclists and pedestrians.
