Traffic Advisory for March 31 - April 6, 2025

Road Safety Reminder for the Week
 

Pedestrian Safety

8 Safety Tips for Drivers:

1. Look out for pedestrians everywhere, at all times.
2. Use extra caution when driving in hard-to-see conditions, such as nighttime or bad weather.
3. Slow down and be prepared to stop when turning or otherwise entering a crosswalk.
4. Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop well back from the crosswalk to give other vehicles an opportunity to see the crossing pedestrians so they can stop too.
5. Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk. There may be people crossing where you can't see.
6. Never drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
7. Follow the speed limit, especially around people on the street, in school zones and in neighborhoods where children are present.
8. Be extra cautious when backing up and look for pedestrians.

Motorists are advised to drive cautiously through the construction zones, observe all posted speed limit and construction signs, and carefully heed flaggers (when present). Alternate routes and/or adjusting drive times when feasible are encouraged.

Islandwide Safety Improvements on Primary Roads (Striping and Marking)
TO-1: Route 1 from Route 1/Route 6 to Route 1/Route 11 Intersections
General construction activities will continue next week for the Route 1 Striping and Marking Project along Route 1, between the Route 1/Route 6 and Route 1/Route 11 intersections project. These activities will involve lane shifts and lane closures.

From Monday 3/31/25 through Friday 4/4/25 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the contractor will work on pavement striping and markings, from Nino Perdido Drive (after Guam Veteran Affairs Office) through Deadman’s Curve to Pacific Welding Services.

Due to the high-risk nature of Deadman’s Curve, there will be multiple intermittent closures on both northbound and southbound lanes during this time.

No construction activities are scheduled from Saturday to Sunday, 4/5/25 – 4/6/25.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution and follow the directions of flaggers when present. Alternate routes and/or adjusting drive times when feasible are encouraged.
