Ready to swap four wheels for two? Fall GoByBike Week starts September 19. Whether you ride to work, school, an appointment or just for fun, plan your route, be visible and share the road safely. #GoByBikeBC

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

Buckle up! Every trip, every seat. Before you get moving, make sure everyone in your vehicle is properly secured, including children using the appropriate car seat or booster seat.
#BuckleUpBC

A notification can wait. Your attention behind the wheel can’t. Before you drive, put your phone somewhere you won’t be tempted to reach for it and keep your focus on the road.

Back to school means more children walking, cycling and rolling through our communities. Slow down and watch for children near schools and crossings. A little extra attention can make a big difference. #RoadSafetyBC #BackToSchool

Travelling this Labour Day Long Weekend? Busy roads, delays, and distractions can increase your risk behind the wheel. Give yourself plenty of time, stay focused on the road, and save your phone for when you've arrived safely.

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

September is a good time to reset safe driving habits. Put your phone away before you start your trip. Safe driving starts before you leave the driveway.
#PutYourPhoneAway #BuckleUpBC

Speed affects how much time and distance you need to stop safely. Slowing down, even slightly, can make a critical difference when the unexpected happens. Those few saved seconds aren't worth the risk.

[TSA @TSATruck]

Brake Safety Week is August 23–29.

A quick brake check can catch a small problem before it becomes a big one.

Inspect. Maintain. Address issues before you roll.

Safe equipment. Safer roads.

The drop-off zone isn't a parking lot.
Avoid double-parking or blocking the crosswalk, and always be prepared for children to enter the roadway unexpectedly.

#BackToSchool

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

September is the riskiest month of the year for kids walking or biking to school. Give your family a head start: walk or bike the route together, practice safe crossings, and talk about putting phones away while crossing.
A few minutes now can prevent a close call later.

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

School's only three weeks away. Once school's back, the 30 km/h school zone limit runs 8 a.m.–5 p.m. on school days.
Start easing off the gas near schools now—build the habit before the rush is back.

Think you can sober up quickly after drinking? The reality is that alcohol leaves your system only with time.
Before you head out, make a plan to get home safely. A designated driver, taxi, rideshare, or transit is always a better choice than getting behind the wheel impaired.

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

Heading home from the lake? With fatigue-related crashes increasing in July and August, it’s important to plan for rest. If you’re tired, don’t push through. Take a break, switch drivers, or pull over for a nap. Getting home safely is worth the extra time.

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

They’re small.
They’re fast.
They’re unpredictable.
Kids + summer = more movement on our streets.
SlowDown and expect the unexpected.

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

Summer often means:
🚗 More cars
🚴 More cyclists
🚶 More pedestrians
And B.C. is seeing higher crash volumes year over year.
Good conditions don’t prevent crashes. Good driving decisions do.
#ShareTheRoadBC

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

The math isn't mathing. 65 lives lost to impaired driving every year in B.C. is too many. Programs like the #ResponsibleDriverProgram exist because driving behaviour can change. So can outcomes. Drive sober every trip.
#GetHomeSafeBC

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

Impaired driving crashes rise 27% in B.C. this summer. Sun, wind, and substances can be deadly. Don’t drive impaired.
#GetHomeSafeBC

[RoadSafetyBC @RoadSafetyBC]

Summer weekends mean concerts, events, and lake days across beautiful British Columbia. Before your next event: choose a designated driver, use a rideshare app, or plan to stay. Your plan protects everyone on the road.
#GetHomeSafeBC

The #ResponsibleDriverProgram (#RDP) is one of the key tools for addressing impaired driving at the individual level. Drivers referred following an impaired driving event work through education, assessment, and remediation with the goal of changing behaviour.
