6/7 Infrastructure and transit routes are buckling under the environmental pressure.

BC Hydro says at least 150 power poles require replacement.

Meanwhile, DriveSafeBC confirms major closures on Highways 1 and 97, cutting off key routes and severely complicating evacuations.

Our last "Spring Forward" is here. As Daylight Saving Time begins, your body might take a bit to catch up. With darker mornings ahead, get plenty of rest and make sure your headlights and taillights are on.

We're at the @bchockeyleague showcase in Abbotsford talking to fans, scouts, and players about road safety! 🏒​

​Just like players adjust their speed and focus on the ice, drivers need to do the same on B.C. roads this fall. 🍂

Ever notice cars in poor weather or near sunset without tail lights? 🚨 Auto settings and daytime running lights don’t always turn them on. If visibility drops below 150 m, switch on your headlights to see and be seen. Drive safe! #DriveSafeBC

🚴 Nearly 4 out of 5 cycling crashes in B.C. happen at intersections. That’s why we partnered with the City of Kelowna in 2020 to add protected cycle tracks, multi-use pathways, and bike lanes — making cycling safer and more accessible.

The answer: Now! 🦌 Deer move more in May, so crashes with them are more likely this time of year. Slow down and watch the roadside, especially on long, open roads. 🚗

🚗💡 Shoulder checks matter!

Do a quick glance whenever you change direction or road position.
Check right before right turns, and always mirror + shoulder check before opening your door. Use them when pulling out, pulling over, changing lanes, and turning.

Drivers, slow down, allow extra travel time, increase your following distance, and watch out for pedestrians. Do not pass snowplows—their wing blades may be hidden by spraying snow.​

Gordon Head students took on a road safety course to learn how distractions impact road safety. 🚸🚗 With help from ICBC, Capital Regional District & @saanichpolice.bsky.social, they practiced staying alert. In just 30 mins, 5 drivers were caught speeding nearby. Let’s keep kids safe. #DriveSafeBC

☔ Rain is making a comeback in parts of B.C. Remember what that's like? 🌧

After a dry spell, built-up oil/dirt gets stirred up by the rain, making things extra slippery.

If it’s been a while since you’ve driven in rain remember to slow down & allow 2X normal braking distance. #DriveSafeBC
