Road Safety Reminder for the Week
Pedestrian Safety
8 Safety Tips for Drivers:
- Look out for pedestrians everywhere, at all times.
- Use extra caution when driving in hard-to-see conditions, such as nighttime or bad weather.
- Slow down and be prepared to stop when turning or otherwise entering a crosswalk.
- Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop well back from the crosswalk to give other vehicles an opportunity to see the crossing pedestrians so they can stop too.
- Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk. There may be people crossing where you can't see.
- Never drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
- Follow the speed limit, especially around people on the street, in school zones and in neighborhoods where children are present.
- Be extra cautious when backing up and look for pedestrians.

Islandwide Safety Improvements on Primary Roads (Striping and Marking)
TO-1: Route 1 from Route 1/Route 6 to Route 1/Route 11 Intersections
General construction activities will continue next week for the Route 1 Striping and Marking Project along Route 1, between the Route 1/Route 6 and Route 1/Route 11 intersections project. These activities will involve lane shifts and lane closures.
From Monday 3/31/25 through Friday 4/4/25 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the contractor will work on pavement striping and markings, from Nino Perdido Drive (after Guam Veteran Affairs Office) through Deadman’s Curve to Pacific Welding Services.
Due to the high-risk nature of Deadman’s Curve, there will be multiple intermittent closures on both northbound and southbound lanes during this time.
No construction activities are scheduled from Saturday to Sunday, 4/5/25 – 4/6/25.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution and follow the directions of flaggers when present. Alternate routes and/or adjusting drive times when feasible are encouraged.
