Hunters and Other Outdoor Enthusiasts: Wear Blaze Orange
Posted by Wayne G. Barber
Hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to put on a bright orange article of clothing when they head afield this fall. Wearing a fluorescent orange hat, vest or jacket makes you highly visible, one of several key safety precautions for hunters, hikers and others enjoying the autumn woods. Several hunting seasons are already underway in New England
Hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to put on a bright orange article of clothing when they head afield this fall. Wearing a fluorescent orange hat, vest or jacket makes you highly visible, one of several key safety precautions for hunters, hikers and others enjoying the autumn woods. Several hunting seasons are already underway in New England
"Wearing blaze orange has definitely been shown to decrease hunting incidents across the country," said Josh Mackay, who coordinates the Hunter Education Program at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Mackay stressed that, along with wearing blaze orange, the top safety rules for hunters are controlling the muzzle of your gun at all times and positively identifying your target -- and what's beyond -- 100 percent of the time.
Overall, New Hampshire has an excellent record for hunter safety, largely attributable to the state's effective hunter education programs. The average number of hunting-related incidents per year has gone down each decade since mandatory hunter education classes became required in the 1970s. The 1960s saw an average of 21.4 incidents per year in New Hampshire. Fewer incidents have occurred each decade since, with an average of 3.4 incidents per year since 2002.
While most hunting-related incidents do not involve non-hunters, it's a good idea for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts getting outdoors in the fall to think safety as well, by wearing blaze orange, sticking to established trails, and reviewing the HikeSafe guidelines at hikesafe.com. Blaze orange pet accessories are also available.

RIDOT TO REOPEN EXISTING TRUCK REST AREA ALONG I-95 IN RICHMOND FRIDAY
Facility helps meet federal requirements for safe rest areas for truckers
Thank You Gina. This comes in handy when we fish the Wood River and Hike the Arcadia Park.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) today announced that it has accelerated its planned reopening of the existing truck rest area along I-95 North, located between Exits 2 and 3. The rest area is scheduled to open tomorrow morning, Friday, September 2 by 8 a.m.
RIDOT's maintenance forces have swept and restriped the parking lots, repaired guardrail, installed new signage, activated and made repairs to the overhead lighting system, and cleared excessive weeds and brush from the grounds. RIDOT originally anticipated reopening the facility by mid-September, but was able to complete the work in just over a week's time. RIDOT will continue working on the facility with the goal of reopening interior spaces, including indoor restrooms, by the end of the month. RIDOT will have portable restrooms available in time for tomorrow's opening.
The rest area will provide additional safe parking for truck drivers, who must comply with federal regulations that limit the number of hours they can drive and establish minimum rest periods between shifts.
Reopening of the existing truck rest area was always envisioned when RIDOT sought federal TIGER grant funding for the new Rhode Island Travel Plaza and Transit Hub. With the awarding of $9 million in funding for the new Welcome Center, RIDOT is moving forward with that project.
The existing truck rest area closed in 2011, at roughly the same time new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Hours of Service Regulations were being developed. These regulations not only limit the number of hours spent driving, but also mandate minimum rest periods between shifts.
Federal restrictions apply to the existing truck rest area, which prohibit certain travel amenities from being provided - services travelers expect and deserve at a modern travel plaza.
