Ready for back to school? We are! 🚲As we anticipate an increase in bicyclists and pedestrians, we urge the community to be alert and obey all traffic laws. We will be conducting extra patrol throughout school zones. As a reminder: 🐢 SLOW DOWN & STAY ALERT. Be aware of pedestrians and cyclists, especially in residential areas and school zones... and if you’re driving, keep your hands on the wheel - NOT the cell phone! 🚌 STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES. By law, drivers must stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm down. Watch-out for kids walking to or around the bus when it’s stopped. 🤔 HAVE A PLAN TO GET TO SCHOOL. Determine your safest route to school. Explore options and make a plan. 🚶♀️CROSS AT CROSSWALKS. Children walking or riding to school should only cross streets at crosswalks and intersections - never between cars! Obey signals at intersections and obey crossing guards. 🪖WEAR A HELMET. When riding bicycles or scooters, wear a helmet for safety. 🏫 FOLLOW DROP-OFF PROCEDURES AND SPEED LIMITS. When dropping off or picking up your students, follow all school procedures, and all local speed limits. 📣 SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING If you witness drivers acting in a dangerous fashion, contact 911 and inform us immediately. Thanks for keeping our community safe!

So beginning in 2026, the Federal Highway Administration bans all highway warning signs that had a hint of humor meant to drive home the point of the message. "Overhead signs with 'obscure meaning, references to popular culture, [and] that are intended to be humorous' will be banned because they could be misunderstood or are distracting to drivers, administration officials maintain." But no mention of those obnoxious, and glaring electronic billboards boards that exist along many highways and freeways placed there with the express purpose to divert drivers' attention to read their blinding advertisements. Why is that legal? Well, because those cities/counties/towns, etc. that own the dirt under those signs are getting a piece of the action for allowing those outdoor advertising companies to erect those signs.

Starting today, drivers are required by law to take precautions around people walking and riding on BC roads, and keep a safe distance when passing vulnerable road users. 👉 Give a vulnerable road user as much space as possible when passing. 👉 When approaching a vulnerable road user, assess your speed and that of the vulnerable road user. 👉If you cannot pass safely, then slow down to the speed of the vulnerable road user, stay back and give them space. 👉If it is safe to do so, you can cross over a single or double yellow centre line to provide a vulnerable road user as much space as possible when passing.
