Properly Securing Cargo on Public Roadways
When hauling cargo or taking rubbish to the transfer station, it is essential to ensure that it is properly secured and covered.
According to the Hawai‘i Island police, the majority of roadside debris is not intentionally discarded, but rather falls or is blown out of vehicles, particularly open-bed trucks, trailers, or roof racks.
Loose items or unsecured items can easily blow out of open-bed trucks, trailers or roof racks that can become road hazards and contribute to litter and traffic collisions.
- Secure cargo to prevent it from becoming a road hazard
- Cover cargo to prevent it from blowing out of vehicles
- Follow proper safety protocols when transporting cargo on public roadways
By taking these precautions, motorists can help reduce litter and traffic collisions caused by unsecured cargo.
