Page 2: Crenshaw Transit Corridor - Safety Activity Book

Did you know Metro is building a new light rail train line called the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor?

> Metro places the highest priority on construction safety throughout the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor.

> Please review each of the following pages with your child to help them understand the dangers of construction zones and the importance of practicing safe behavior.

> Make sure they know that construction zones are not playgrounds.

> The light rail train will travel 8.5 miles from the Metro Exposition Station at Crenshaw and Exposition Boulevards to the Metro Green Line Aviation/ LAX Station.

> The construction of the light rail train line will be completed in 2019.

metro construction is underway!

hello!

Page 3: Crenshaw Transit Corridor - Safety Activity Book

Construction zones are any location where active construction is underway and where construction equipment is stored.

This book will show you how to stay safe around construction zones.

For more information on construction safety for the Metro Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor, visit metro.net/crenshaw or call the project hotline at 213.922.2736.

10 constructionsafety tipsyou need to know> Do not walk, run, ride or play in a construction area or around construction equipment, dirt piles or work areas.

> Always walk on the sidewalk or designated walkway.

> Watch for sidewalk closure signs and remain alert to posted notices of temporary walkways.

> To avoid distractions, do not use cell phones, headphones, video games or other hand held devices in construction zones. Staying alert to your surroundings reduces the likelihood of an incident.

> Avoid going near a construction zone whenever possible. Heavy machinery and debris can be hazardous.

> Stop, look and listen for construction vehicles like bulldozers and dump trucks. Dust can impede your vision.

> See and be seen. Cross only at intersections and make eye contact with drivers of construction vehicles. You are smaller than most pieces of equipment and they may not see you.

> Slow down and follow signs that tell you where to walk, skateboard or bicycle.

> Be aware of your surroundings and falling objects in construction zones, even if they are not directly overhead. Wind can blow them in your direction.

> Obey construction signage and any instructions by those working on the project.

> Stay outside orange cones, construction fences and chain link fences.

Watch out! I rock and roll.

Construction Safety Tips

Page 5: Crenshaw Transit Corridor - Safety Activity Book

1There were over 20 streetcar lines and 1,250 trolleys that ran through central Los Angeles between 1901 and 1963.

2 The Crenshaw/LAX line will be 8.5 miles in length. That’s the same as 150 football >elds!

3 A car runs on gas, but a light rail train runs on electricity.

5 When a light rail train is running above ground at street level, it follows tra;c lights like a car.

4 Around 388,883 people go Metro on an average weekday!

6 Metro has 6 rail lines! Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Gold and Expo.

Sometimes I go almost 70 miles an hour.
