🦌#WildlifeMattersBC🦌 #BCWildlife is difficult to see at night in #BritishColumbia. Watch for WILDLIFE signage, as the signs are easier to see than the animals. Traveling at the posted road speed is how to most safely coexist with wildlife, according to statistics, and the @BCHwyPatrol 🚔.

We're big fans of @googlemaps, but it sometimes makes mistakes.

Currently, it's inaccurately listing #BCHwy5 as closed north of the #Coquihalla Summit. The road is OPEN with a travel advisory in effect.

For accurate info, check https://t.co/yVVq38WOJL or reach out to us here! #BCHwy #BCWildfire

🫎Wildlife warning signs serve as a reminder to drivers to stay alert and watch for wildlife where there are known to be specific species. 👀🦌This can be due to migration patterns, recorded movement near roadways, or history of vehicle incidents involving animals.
