When walking and driving conditions are icy, both drivers and pedestrians are at risk. The United States Postal Service is asking for the public’s help to keep letter carriers safe from slips, trips or falls.
Mounds of snow and patches of ice in front of mailboxes create havoc for carriers trying to safely affect mail delivery. The USPS asks residents maintain a clear path to the mailbox – including steps, porches, walkways and approach from the street – and help postal carriers provide timely delivery of those holiday packages, cards and letters.
Residents who receive curbside mail delivery are also asked to keep the approach to and from the mailbox clear of snow or any other obstacles such as trash cans and other vehicles. The carrier needs to be able to deliver mail safely without leaving the vehicle or backing up.
