Narrator: To keep-clear means to maintain a distance or to ensure that a specific area remains unobstructed.
Narrator: In plain English, it means staying away from a hazard or leaving enough space so that others can pass through easily.
Narrator: The phrase is formed from the Middle English keep meaning to guard and clear meaning free from obstruction or blockages.
