💡Use headlights to improve visibility, even in light rain or overcast conditions.

Slow down and give yourself extra time to get to your destination. It’s not worth the risk to yourself, and to others. Speeding is the leading contributing factor to fatal crashes in #BritishColumbia. The faster you go, the longer it takes to stop thus the more dangerous a crash can be. Factor in big vehicles, and other vulnerable road users like motorcycles🏍️🦌#BCWildlife - and there is always time to slow down and drive with care.

In #BritishColumbia, motorists are required to slow down and move over for all vehicles stopped alongside the road that have flashing red, blue or yellow lights. This includes maintenance workers, utility workers, police, fire, ambulance, tow trucks, Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement personnel, land surveyors, animal control workers, garbage collectors and other roadside workers.

70/40 Rule. Motorists must slow their speed to: 70km/h when in an 80km/h or over zone and 40km/h when in an under 80km/h zone. If travelling on a multi-lane road, drivers must move into another lane to pass when passing stopped vehicles with a flashing light, where safe to do so, and reduce their speed. 70/40 Rule.

How to safely share the road with slow-moving road maintenance vehicles:

1. Adjust speed. Slow to 70km/h or less (if the posted speed is 80km/h or more).

2. Move over. Give our crews plenty of room to work.

Most motorcycle crashes in B.C. happen at intersections, often when drivers turn across riders. Before turning, look twice: once for cars, once for motorcycles. #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

[Argo Roads Thompson @Argo_Thompson]

Scan intersections carefully + take an extra moment to look for #motorcycles when you're turning left. #LookTwice
