Glenn Revises Parking and Traffic Rules
Following nearly two years of hard work and collaboration, this month the Facilities Division, the Safety, Health and Environmental Division and the Security Management and Safeguards Office will implement new parking and traffic procedures.

Glenn has revised its policy and procedures based on recommendations from a DuPont Safety Services audit and a Glenn Parking Committee Report, which was commissioned by the Safety, Health and Environmental Board (SHEB). The new policy is in full compliance with Ohio's traffic laws and ensures a safe "line of sight" for both motorists and pedestrians.
Chapter 19 of the Glenn Safety Manual includes a full description of the safety and parking policy recommendations. The following are important changes to the center's revised parking policy:

1. There are no longer yellow "No Parking" zones at the Center.
2. Blue zones are for handicap parking. This applies to parking lot as well as curbside parking.
3. Areas in red paint are "No Parking" zones due to personnel and facility safety requirements. Red areas include the ambulance area on the south side of the Employee Center, and those in front of fire hydrants and on either side of a crosswalk.
All drivers should note that all curb areas at the entrance/exit of parking areas, driveways or street intersections are considered "No Parking" zones. To aid drivers during this transition process, "No Parking" signs were installed throughout the center to designate prohibited areas. Starting this month, any vehicle that is parked in a red zone will be towed at the driver's expense.
