Amabhizinisi, abanikazi bezindlu, kanye nabaqashi e- Washington banesibopho sokunakekela izindawo zabo ukuze bagweme ukulimala kwezivakashi noma abanye abamenyiwe ebhizinisini noma ekhaya. Lokhu kusho ukuthi amabhizinisi, abanikazi bezindlu kanye nabaqashi kumele bagcine izindlela zokuhamba ngezinyawo (nezindawo zokupaka izimoto zamabhizinisi) zingenazo izingozi zeqhwa neqhwa, futhi kumele baqinisekise ukuthi noma yimaphi amanzi noma iqhwa elilandelwa ngaphakathi alibangeli izingozi ezingabangela ukuthi umuntu ashelele, awe futhi alimale. Washington inemiyalelo ye-pattern jury (WPI), futhi kuyasiza ukubheka imiyalelo ye-pattern mayelana nomsebenzi webhizinisi wokugcina indawo iphephile.
(WPI) 120.07 Isibopho Sebhizinisi Noma Kumuntu Omenyiwe Emphakathini—Isimo Sendawo:
An [umnikazi noma umhlali we indawo] unesibopho nganoma yikuphi [ngokomzimba] ukulimala kwayo [ibhizinisi abamenyiwe, abamenyiwe bomphakathi, noma amakhasimende] okubangelwa yisimo esisendaweni uma [umnikazi noma umhlali]:
(a) uyazi ngalesi simo noma ehluleka ukwenza ukuqapha okuvamile ukuthola lesi simo, futhi kufanele aqaphele ukuthi sihilela ingozi engafanele yokulinyazwa kwaleso simo [ibhizinisi abamenyiwe, abamenyiwe bomphakathi, noma amakhasimende];
(b) kufanele balindele ukuthi ngeke bathole noma baqaphele ingozi, noma bazohluleka ukuzivikela kuyo; futhi
(c) ehluleka ukwenza ukuqapha okuvamile ukuze azivikele engozini.
Abanikazi bezindlu banemithwalo yemfanelo efanayo ngokomthetho yokugcina amakhaya abo kanye nempahla yabo (kufaka phakathi izindlela zokuhamba ngezinyawo ezizungeze ikhaya) ukuze baphephe. Amadolobha amaningi anemithetho ethile etshela abanikazi bezindlu ukuthi kumele bagcine izindlela zokuhamba ngezinyawo ezizungeze ikhaya labo zingenaqhwa, iqhwa nezinye izingozi. Isibonelo, Seattle Ikhodi Kamasipala ithi "abanikazi bezindawo banesibopho sokunakekela izindlela zokuhamba ngezinyawo eziseduze nezindawo zabo." Seattle Abanikazi bezindlu kufanele bafunde lokhu ukuze baqonde imisebenzi yabo:
Ngakho-ke yini okufanele yenziwe ngumnikazi wendlu noma ibhizinisi? Uma wazi ukuthi kuza isiphepho, hlela kusengaphambili futhi uqiniseke ukuthi ugcina zonke izindlela zokuhamba ngezinyawo (nezindawo zokupaka zamabhizinisi) eduze kwekhaya lakho noma isakhiwo, ziphephile futhi zihlanzekile eqhweni, eqhweni, noma kwezinye izingozi. Qiniseka ukuthi unama-mat ngaphakathi kweminyango ukusiza ukunciphisa amanzi alandelelwa ebhizinisini lakho. Qiniseka ukuthi uqapha ngokucophelela indawo yakho, futhi uma kukhona ingozi (njengamanzi alandelelwa phansi awela phansi) xwayisa amakhasimende noma izivakashi ngengozi. Uma uqasha indawo yebhizinisi lakho, umninindlu wakho angase akunikeze iqhwa neqhwa. Uma uqasha indlu, awukhululwa emthwalweni wokugcina indawo yakho iphephile.
Local Seattle Isiteshi somsakazo i-KUOW senze umbiko omuhle kakhulu ngoJanuwari 15, 2020, ochaza ukuthi abanikazi bezindlu banesibopho sokususa iqhwa neqhwa ezindleleni zokuhamba ngezinyawo ezizungeze ikhaya labo:

Noma ubani olimele ngenxa yanoma yisiphi isimo esingaphephile ekhaya noma ebhizinisini angafaneleka ukusebenzisa noma yikuphi ukumbozwa kwezinkokhelo zezokwelapha okutholakala ebhizinisini ngaphansi kwanoma iyiphi inqubomgomo yesibopho sezentengiselwano (iningi lihlinzeka ngo-$2,500 noma u-$5,000 wezindleko zezokwelapha), futhi angase futhi alethe isimangalo sesibopho ngokumelene nomninikhaya noma ibhizinisi nganoma yikuphi ukulimala noma umonakalo. Ummeli omuhle wokulimala komuntu uzokwazi ukuphendula imibuzo mayelana nezimangalo ezingase zenziwe ngenxa yanoma yisiphi isimo esingaphephile ekhaya noma ebhizinisini.
