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

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Always cross at intersections and crosswalks, especially in bad weather. Drivers may not have enough time and space to stop safely if you cross mid-block. #ABRoads #pedsafety

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Be extra careful when approaching intersections and crosswalks during bad weather. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

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.

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Slow down and follow the speed limit when driving on residential streets and through school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #pedsafety #drivingtips

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

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

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

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

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Please be extra careful near crosswalks, schools, and in playground zones for children and other vulnerable road users. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #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. https://t.co/hAWMl3f0a7 @ABDanielleSmith @DevinDVote

On average, approximately 41 children (pedestrians and bicyclists) are injured in crosswalks each year in Alberta. Avoid tragedy and slow down in school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

Remember to slow down & look for kids at crosswalks & intersections, especially near school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

Make sure your kids know the rule – no helmet, no bike! #ABKids #ABRoads #RoadSafety

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Teach your child the safest way to cross the street – at a crosswalk, using Point, Pause, Proceed. #ABKids #ABRoads #RoadSafety

Plan ahead & be alert. School zones have lower speed limits and may be congested, so give yourself extra time to get to your destination. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety
