Every day, roadside workers are put in danger by careless drivers. Cones are all that stand between drivers and Mainroad crews. Roadside workers can only hope that someone cares about their life. What's stopping you? #SlowDownMoveOver

Don’t learn by accident. Fall + winter road conditions vary around BC + can change quickly especially on higher elevation roads like the #Coquihalla (#BCHwy5) + McDonald Summit (#BCHwy24). Be prepared + check @DriveBC before you go. #ShiftIntoWinter

🚗 Driving requires your full attention. Slow down and drive with care when visibility is reduced by 🌧️ rain or fog. ... and don't forget to turn on your taillights. Save the 👻 ghost look for 🎃 halloween! 📷 @DriveBC

At least the front lights work? Too bad the taillights were out and the seatbelts, brakes, windshield wipers and hydraulic and air lines were all broken. This truck was removed from Highway #1 near Malakwa to make our highways a little safer rcmp.ca/en/bc/bchp/news/2026…
