New Tread Lightly! Program Debutes at 2013 Hangtown Motocross Classic
Participants operated the vehicles on a challenging course, complete with rocks, logs, green areas, scale replica wildlife, and a simulated stream. In doing so, they were asked to follow the Tread Lightly! Principles: Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads, trails and areas. Go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. When possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies. Plan for your trip, take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely. 
Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological or paleontological sites. 
Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas. The only way to successfully complete the course was to apply the Tread Lightly! Principles—giving the participants opportunities to problem solve real-life off-highway scenarios. If the long line to have a turn at the R/C course was any indication, visitors thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the new program was a resounding success. 
Educating off-highway enthusiasts about the Tread Lightly! Principles, and providing opportunities for their practical application, will aid in resource management practices that will help ensure the long-term sustainability of off-highway recreation.

Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Equity Statement 
Throughout history, deeply rooted racism has led to inequitable policies and practices that have threatened transportation safety for communities of color and underserved communities. Equity is a fundamental principle in transportation safety. The transportation system must be safe for all road users, for all modes of transportation, in all communities and for people of all incomes, races and ethnicities, ages and abilities.  
The OTS embraces its role in transportation safety to advance equity and to prioritize its traffic safety efforts toward any person or community that has been marginalized and burdened by poverty and inequality. Data-driven safety initiatives must be developed and administered with an equity lens to ensure our most vulnerable and underserved populations are prioritized. Our actions must be sensitive to community desires and needs, striving to include the voice of every community in traffic safety.  
Traffic crashes continue to claim the lives of thousands of people on California roadways each year. Data analysis shows overrepresentation of people of color in crashes, including those involving fatalities. It is clear – roadway travel is riskier for people of color and this disparity has gotten worse in recent years. Several factors contribute to these results, but understanding travel patterns, where fatal and serious injury crashes are occurring and the disproportionate impacts on certain communities will allow us to identify targeted actions to address the underlying factors and causes and improve safety.  
The OTS is committed to taking a comprehensive, inclusive and equitable approach to delivering education, enforcement and outreach programs to save lives on all of California’s roadways.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
That statute states that a landowner "owes no duty of care to keep the premises safe for entry or use by others for any recreational purpose or to give any warning of hazardous conditions, uses of, structures, or activities on such premises to persons entering for such purpose, except as provided in this section." This statute has been used frequently by government agencies to protect the agencies against liability claims by recreational users of government land. Most often, the defense is successful. As with PRC §5090.38, this defense will be unavailable to the BLM for accidents that occur on private property, where the BLM has designated that private property for off-highway motor vehicle recreation, since the BLM is not the landowner, and the statute only immunizes the landowner. At the beginning of my comment, I noted that by Cal. Evidence Code §669 a trespassing rider is negligent per se for an accident. It might seem that would protect the BLM from liability, and it does, but only partially. In von Tagen v. United States, 557 F. Supp. 256 (N.D. Cal. 1983), von Tagen sued the federal government "for injuries suffered in an automobile accident which occurred on federal property while plaintiff was engaged in a recreational use. Plaintiff alleges that the accident resulted from the government's failure to erect a guardrail or warning sign at a dangerously sharp curve on Conzelman Road in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, located in Marin County, California." The court in this case wrote that "while four of the prior accidents occurred when the driver was exceeding the posted speed limit, as was the plaintiff in this action, the contributory negligence of those drivers is no defense to the charge of willful misconduct on the part of the government." The court went on to state that "the government had knowledge of the hazard and of the probability of injury and ... that failure to provide greater protections was so far below accepted highway safety engineering practice as to amount to a conscious failure." The most important points from von Tagen v. United States are (1) that contributory negligence of the plaintiff "is no defense to the charge of willful misconduct on the part of the government" and (2) that the defense in Cal.

Victim’s Stories 

The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) strives to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries caused by unsafe and illegal driving habits like driving distracted, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, not wearing a seatbelt or the improper use or lack of a child safety restraint system. We implement programs that help law enforcement and other public agencies enforce traffic laws and educate the public in traffic safety.  
Our goal is that by raising awareness about the deadly and tragic consequences unsafe behaviors on roadways pose, it will lead to better choices and habits from drivers, bicyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians.  
This page is in loving memory of those whose lives were taken from them by drivers who did not implement safe driving habits. 
We honor the lives lost in these traffic-related incidents. Because everyone matters. 
This is the page where anything submitted under “Share Your Story” is shared.

About Liam:
Pedestrian Safety | Office of Traffic Safety
The problem is reaching crisis proportions:

2018: 893 pedestrians were killed on California roadways, a 26% increase from 2014.
2018: More than 14,000 pedestrians injured.
Pedestrian deaths rose 26% percent between 2014 and 2018.
Nearly 7,500 pedestrians have died in California between 2009 and 2018.
California’s pedestrian fatality rate is almost 25% higher than the national average.
No state has more pedestrian deaths on its roadways than California.

It’s a two-way street. Drivers and pedestrians must work together to demonstrate safe behaviors on the road, helping to protect themselves and those around them.

Safety tips for pedestrians:

Make yourself visible: wear bright colored clothes and carry a flashlight if you are walking at night.
Avoid dangerous behaviors: always walk on the sidewalk (no jaywalking), stay sober and make eye contact with drivers – don’t assume the driver can see you.
Stay off your phones, talking and especially texting distracts you from paying attention to your surroundings.
Look before you step: cross streets at marked crosswalks/intersections, obey traffic signals and watch for turning vehicles.
Look left-right-left before crossing a street.

Safety tips for drivers:

Don’t speed, follow the speed limit and never use your phone; always be cautious of your surroundings.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Look out for pedestrians, especially in hard-to-see conditions such as at night or in bad weather.
Pedestrians have the right of way at any crosswalk or intersection, so yield and be prepared to stop.
Stop at the crosswalk stop line to give drivers in other lanes an opportunity to see and yield to pedestrians too.
Be cautious when backing up – pedestrians, especially young children, can move across your path.

Safe Winter Driving Tips

 Safe Winter Driving Tips
 
Drive Safely
The leading cause of death and injuries during winter storms is transportation accidents.
When winter storms strike, do not drive unless necessary.
Keep vehicles clear of ice and snow. Good vision is a key to good driving.
Plan your stops and keep more distance between cars. Be extra alert. Remember, snowdrifts can hide smaller children. Always match your speed to the road and weather conditions.
Some of the most important tips for safe winter driving include:
Schedule extra time for winter travel and be patient during ice and snow removal operations.
Never follow a snowplow too closely or attempt to pass one. Remember that the highway ahead of the plow is usually snow-covered.
Assume that bridge surfaces are slippery, as they freeze more quickly than road surfaces.
Be wary of black ice, which can be difficult to see but makes conditions slippery when pavement temperatures are below freezing.
Have a cell phone handy and charged.
Equip your car with emergency supplies.
Inform a responsible person of your destination, intended route, and estimated time of arrival.
Keep calm and do not panic in case of a vehicle breakdown, accident, or if you become snowbound.
Keep your gas tank full to prevent gasoline freeze-up.
