Be extra careful when approaching intersections and crosswalks during bad weather. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety
Pedestrian collisions are more likely during months of low light conditions, so use extra caution when there is low light, such as a late sunrise or early sunset.
Slow down and follow the speed limit when driving on residential streets and through school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #pedsafety #drivingtips
Pedestrians always have the right-of-way at an unmarked intersection or stop sign unless indicated by signage #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety
Making a turn? Watch out for pedestrians who may be crossing.
Not stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk can have tragic consequences – it also carries a fine of $810 plus 4 demerit points #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety
Compared to the rest of the year, there are about 40 per cent more collisions involving pedestrians between September and November. Please use extra caution when approaching intersections. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety
Please be extra careful near crosswalks, schools, and in playground zones for children and other vulnerable road users. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety
When fall arrives, hours of daylight shrink, making it can be hard to see pedestrians in the morning and evening. Approach crosswalks and intersections with caution and only proceed after pedestrians have finished crossing the street. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #pedsafety
Nearly half of collisions with school buses are the result of driver error – focus on driving and nothing else. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety
The Government of Alberta and the Government of Canada have committed to work together to advance a high-speed passenger rail connection between Calgary & Edmonton. Alberta is preparing to launch an RFP this fall. bit.ly/4jsDiQq @ABDanielleSmith @DevinDVote
