To close out National Roadside Safety Awareness Month, we offer the following suggestions for sharing the road with large vehicles:

• Only change lanes when you can see both truck's headlights in your rearview mirror.
• When possible, pass a truck or bus on the left.
• Check a truck's mirrors. If you can't see the driver's face, the driver can't see you.
• Allow trucks and buses adequate space to maneuver. Trucks and buses make wide turns.
• Buckle up. It is your first line of defense.

We all have to share the road and driving safely and cooperatively ensures we can all arrive safely to our destinations.

A friendly reminder to stay focused behind the wheel.

Distractions can happen in an instant, and so can a crash. Please keep your eyes on the road and pay attention to the traffic signals.

If the light is red, it means stop. Staying alert can make all the difference.

When someone goes missing, every minute matters. That's where the Gwinnett Search Team steps in.

Made up of specially trained volunteers from the Gwinnett Police Department and Office of Emergency Management, this dedicated team searches neighborhoods, businesses, parks, and other areas to help bring loved ones home safely.

The team trains year-round and uses Project Lifesaver technology to quickly locate at-risk individuals who may wander or become lost — often within an hour of a search beginning.

Because in Gwinnett, looking out for one another is what community is all about. For more information on Project Lifesaver, visit GwinnettCounty.com/ProjectLifeSaver.
