The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents about a critical safety concern: blowing grass clippings into the roadway is both illegal and hazardous. When fresh grass lands on asphalt, it can quickly become slippery, posing a severe threat to motorcyclists and bicyclists, especially after rain. Even a thin layer can lead to accidents that could be life-altering. Residents are encouraged to blow clippings back into their yards and sweep up any debris that ends up on the street. This simple action keeps everyone safer and ensures compliance with the law. Let’s all do our part for safer roads.
“When grass clippings hit the road, especially when wet, they can become as slick as ice, creating serious hazards for motorcyclists and bicyclists. Even a small patch can cause a life-threatening accident.”
