Thank you for your letter pointing out the dangers associated with joggers and walkers on Crest
Road. We share your concerns.
Members of the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission have been reviewing this situation. Presently,
Traffic Commission members are considering an Ordinance which would require the wearing
of reflective devices by joggers when utilizing roadways within the City during hours of darkness.
Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 10.40.051 requires that all persons pinning on roadways
shall run in single file as closely as possible to the left hand side of the roadway. Local Los
Angeles County Sheriffs Department Deputies have been alerted to this Municipal Code Section
and are approaching persons currently violating this Ordinance.
1 will forward your letter to members of the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission for review at their
next meeting. Your input is appreciated. Should you with to discuss this matter further, please
do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,

Dear Peggy,
I would like to point out the danger involved by joggers, walkers, etc. on
Crest Road.
Every morning eri route on Crest Road to my office I am becoming increasingly
concerned of the danger to joggers, walkers, etc. Many of than are not on
the opposite side of traffic and some are jogging or walking in the middle
of the road and not in single file as was mentioned in the news
letter. Very few wear illuminating markers on their clothing especially at
night and in the morning fog.
I certainly do not want to convey to you that the joggers and walkers in
question should not be able to exercise, but I am concerned and I'm sure you
are aware of the dangers to them and the legal consequences to Rolling
Hills.
I firmly believe this matter is of utmost importance to our community.
Sincerely,
