Blowing grass clippings into the road may seem harmless, but blowing grass clippings into the roadway creates real dangers for the community.
They can create slippery hazards. Fresh clippings on pavement can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists and bicyclists. Just one patch can cause a serious crash.
They can also obstruct lane markings. Clippings can cover vital paint lines, making it harder for drivers to stay in their lanes safely.
They can also create a flooding risk. Grass clippings and debris easily wash into storm drains, clogging them and causing flooding during heavy rain.
There are better options. Consider discharging clippings back onto your lawn. Bag and discard them properly if needed.
Let’s work together to keep roads safe, clean, and flood-free. A few extra seconds can make a big difference. Keep it off the road, keep Pineville safe.
