Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to install personnel-deflecting guards around the leading edges of front and rear wheels. Deflecting guards should extend from the wheels and be designed in such a manner as to push persons out of the way of an oncoming vehicle and not be capable of running them over.
