So lately i have run into people walking on the road or road clean up crew. I have reported them as a hazard on the side as animals....

How do others report hitch hikers and clean up crews or just people walking on the road?

Keep in mind that if they are actually walking it may not be good to report that hazard since it is a moving object and will be in a different part of the road or a different road all together in 5 minutes.

Good point about using "object on road hazard"

99% of the time I see the "Chain Gang" they are on major roads and will still be in the vicinity well past your 5 min. limit

Not to ignore the OP..

I guess people walk along roads all the time....Didn't know they could be reported as animals..but whatever.

Not sure what you're getting at...maybe hitch hikers? Guess they could be reported as a hazard. You see less and less of them now days. Hitch hiking used to be a cool way to see the country back in the 60's and 70's. Way to dangerous now days

Yet another loss of innocence in America

There should be object on road under hazard. I also use that if the road has no shoulder and there is a car broken down on the road as well. Keep in mind that if they are actually walking it may not be good to report that hazard since it is a moving object and will be in a different part of the road or a different road all together in 5 minutes.
