1. Please, read the memo carefully and mark the statements T (True) or F (False):
Date: 2/10
TO: All officers
FROM: Lieutenant James SUBJECT: Directing traffic/safety
Last week one of our officers had an unfortunate accident. While conducting manual traffic control, Officer Davies was hit by a motorist. As a result, I’d like to remind you of proper methods for directing traffic.
First, be aware of the intersection design when you direct traffic. Consciously ask yourself what type of street it is: is it a t-shape, a one way? Being aware of your surroundings is the best way to remain safe.
Next, always face the vehicle as you direct the driver. Make sure the driver sees you and knows you are signaling him. Safety is more important than maximum traffic flow.
Make precise signals. Be firm with horizontal and vertical extensions of your hand or arm. Unclear movements may cause a driver to misunderstand your directions. Wear reflective gear - it’s not just for poor visibility.
Last, do not hesitate to use your whistle to make sure your presence is known. Stay safe and enjoy your work!
1.___Maximum traffic flow is the primary goal while directing traffic.
2.___Using a whistle is the best way to stay safe.
3.___The memo suggests interacting one- on-one with each driver.
4.___ Police officers have to wear reflective gear only in case of bad weather conditions.
