Report Hazards
Help keep Marin roads, pathways, and trails safe! Our agency partners do a great job responding to hazards, but they need your eyes on the ground. When you’re out on a ride and come across a safety issue, please follow these simple steps to make it as easy as possible for the responsible agency to locate and fix the hazard.
1. Document the Hazard
- Take a picture of the hazard. Please ensure your photo captures more than just the hazard itself. Including nearby context in the photo will help crews identify the exact location.
- Note the street address, mileage marker, a nearby landmark, side of the road, and any other identifiers that will help pinpoint the location. When none are available, reference the location relative to a nearby junction / intersection (.25 miles north of X & Y). If you know how, you can pinpoint your exact coordinates using a mobile map application, such as Google or Apple Maps.
2. Identify & Contact the Responsible Agency
Roads typically fall under the jurisdiction of the city/town in which they are located. Those located outside of city/town limits will likely be the responsibility of the County, with some exceptions (noted below). Paved pathways also typically fall under the jurisdiction of the city/town in which they are located; those outside of city/town limits or connecting multiple communities often fall under Marin County Parks’ responsibility.
If you’re ever in doubt of agency responsibility on roads and pathways, email Policy & Planning Director Warren Wells.
