Safer at Work
and in the Community
|
|
On Tuesday, May 26, 2020 Los Angeles County reworked the
Safer at Home Order
to what is now the
Safer at Work and in the Community Order
. The Order is issued to align the County with State Executive Orders and State Health Orders that support the phased reopening of the California Pandemic Resilience Roadmap. The Order will be revised in the future to reflect the State Executive Orders and State Public Health Officer Orders that progressively designate sectors, businesses, establishments, or activities that may reopen with certain modifications, based on health and safety needs.
This Order allows persons to engage in all permitted activities, as defined by the Order, but requires that persons practice Social Distancing, at all times while out in public and wear face covering when in contact with others, to lower the risks of person-to-person contact for themselves and others.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department Conducting
Motorcycle Safety Enforcement
|
|
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will have extra deputies out on patrol Friday, May 29, 2020 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. looking for violations made by drivers and motorcyclists that increase the risk of crashes.
With nearly 900,000 registered motorcycles in the state, many road users are going places without the same protections as drivers. Motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely to die in a crash than vehicle occupants.
To help protect you and your family, keep the following tips in mind while driving or riding:
Drivers
- Always check twice for motorcycles in your mirrors and blind spots.
- Use your signal when changing lanes.
- Never follow a motorcycle too closely. Always keep a safe distance.
- When at an intersection, allow enough space before turning.
Motorcyclists:
- Always wear a DOT compliant helmet and protective gear like gloves and leather clothing.
- Consider adding reflective tape to your clothing to make it easier for other drivers to see you.
- Keep your lights on at all times, even during the day.
- Don’t assume drivers see you: signal well in advance before changing lanes and watch for turning vehicles.
- Although lane splitting is legal, the practice is not encouraged at high speeds in free-flowing traffic, or between large vehicles like big rigs and motor homes.
The County's modified orders requires residents practice physical distancing, stay at least six feet apart from others, and wear face mask when in public areas. During these trying times, the safety of the community remains our top priority, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department recognizes the need to protect the public by looking for violations made by drivers and riders that puts the public at further risk.
Funding for motorcycle safety enforcement operations are provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
