Winter safety reminders

Keep yourself safe and wear proper footwear and look where you are walking. Despite our best efforts there will be icy areas where snow and ice melt and re-freeze.

Reminder too, snowplows and snow removal equipment should be afforded the right of way. Pedestrians and vehicles should allow a wide safety area around plows and equipment. Walking or driving too closely behind equipment can create unsafe conditions. Stay safe… Stay back.

Allow extra time for travel in the winter. Reduce speeds when driving on snow covered or icy roads. Do not step into traffic in front of moving vehicles. Cars and trucks may not be able to stop suddenly when roads are slick.

Sign up for WSU emergency notifications Emergency Notification (my.wsu.edu). During inclement weather, WSU administration may delay opening campus or suspend operations for the day.
