Airbags & other safety features work together with #seatbelts, not in place of them.

It's pothole season! 🕳️👷

Watch out for crews and their flashing lights stopped on or along the road. Slow down & move over.

Trucks and buses need more time to stop than passenger vehicles, because of their size, weight and braking system.

Give large trucks and buses the room they need to operate safely. #drivingtips #ABRoads #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

When driving in icy conditions, slow down and leave extra space between you and the vehicle ahead of you.

Allowing for extra room gives you time to brake slowly, which helps prevent your vehicle from sliding.

Make sure to check @511Alberta before heading out. | #ABroads

Did you know that seatbelts evenly distribute the force of a collision to the stronger parts of a person’s body?

Please #BuckleUp. #ABRoads #RoadSafety #DriveSafe

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Avoid sudden moves by anticipating turns & lane changes. Abrupt changes or slamming on the brakes could cause you to lose control. #ABRoads #RoadSafety #DriveSafe #drivingtips

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

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

[Transportation and Economic Corridors @ABTransComm]

Intersections are high risk for collisions – approach and proceed with caution. #ABRoads

Winter has arrived!

When you see a snowplow, salt, or sand truck, please proceed with caution. Snow plow operators will move to the side of the road, where it is safe, to allow vehicles to pass.

Drowsy driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving.

Pull into a rest stop and take a short nap or switch drivers if you’re tired this #HolidaySeason. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #RoadSafety
