Doesn't Dayton have laws against that? That's a danger to emergency and postal workers.
I don't think so, but even if they did, people would just ignore it like they do stop signs and red lights.
Info from an Ohio lawyer
Another risk for delivery drivers involves entering the customer’s premises. For example, a delivery driver walking up onto the porch of a customer’s house may be injured by tripping on toys left carelessly on the steps, a broken step or loose rail, or an uneven surface. Other risks may include inadequate lighting, wet surfaces, improperly cleared ice and snow, and animal attacks. For an employee, any of these types of injuries may be covered by workers’ compensation.
Drivers working as independent contractors, as those driving for third-party delivery services often do, won’t have access to workers’ compensation benefits (assuming they are properly classified). However, some companies provide limited benefits to contractors who are injured on duty. For example, DoorDash provides some medical coverage, and even disability payments of up to $500/week for injured workers. If you’re working as a contractor for a third party delivery service, it’s in your best interest to make sure you fully understand what is and is not covered and what additional insurance you may need to provide before an accident happens.
