<p><strong>The Auburn Police Department is cracking down on unsecured loads.</strong> Vehicle-related road debris causes crashes & unsightly litter; secured loads improve road safety & cleanliness.</p>
<p>Maine statute 29-A 2396 states: "A person may not operate on a public way a vehicle with a load that is not fastened, secured, confined or loaded to reasonably prevent a portion from falling off."<br /><br /><em><strong>The Auburn PD will be rigorously enforcing this statute in the weeks & months ahead.</strong></em> The fine for this violation is <strong>$326</strong>!<br /><br />* Take the time to secure your load with tarps, rope, straps, netting, or chains.</p>
<p>* Even if you are driving slowly for just a couple of blocks, you are still required to secure your load.</p>
<p>* Even with a small load, items can shift & become airborne. Put lighter items lower & place heavier items on top, then secure the heavy items directly to your vehicle.</p>
<p>* Cover your load & don’t overload your vehicle.</p>
