This needs to stop. 38 people were killed on Calgary roads in 2025. Moms, dads, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, classmates, coaches and neighbours. Each one was just going about their day. This is not just data. These are people. And it is time for a wake-up call. We’re working with @calgarypolice to end this for good.

Several previously passed road safety motions are recommended to be postponed or scaled back at the March 10th Vancouver Council meeting, “with the objective of freeing up staff capacity in order to better implement Council’s priorities” This is what happens when you starve the city budget. 🐢We’re especially disheartened to see motions that we worked hard to organize for and celebrated a victory from being slow rolled or axed. The promised 9 new bus lanes are already terribly behind schedule, and adding truck side guards to the city-owned fleet moving along at a snail’s pace. As advocates this is an important reminder that it ain’t over til it’s over. 🐌See the full report back on outstanding council motions on this week’s council agenda at the city website. There are plenty included on other topics as well!

⚠️ SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER ⚠️ On the evening of Thursday, March 5, 2026, ambulances, tow trucks, fire engines, peace officers, maintenance vehicles & police vehicles will be parked beside one of Calgary’s busiest roads to remind drivers they need to slow down & move over. 🚨 These vehicles will activate their flashing lights & park near the ramps in both directions of 16 Avenue N.E., between 36 Street & Barlow Trail N.E., to bring attention to the importance of slowing down on roadways where emergency personnel are doing their jobs. It is critical that drivers recognize the danger present to workers tending to emergencies & other work on the side of the road. ℹ️ When an emergency vehicle, tow truck, or maintenance vehicle, including a snowplow, is stopped with flashing lights activated, motorists are required to slow down & move over to another lane whenever possible. Penalties for failing to slow to 60 km/h, or the posted speed limit if lower, in the lane adjacent to an emergency vehicle can result in a $243 fine & 3 demerits. Moving to another lane when safe to do so is always best practice. 🚫 Fines for speeding while passing an emergency vehicle or road service vehicle while stopped on the side of the road with the flashing lights activated are doubled & can range from $163 to $991. A mandatory court appearance is required for any motorist travelling 51km/h or more over the speed limit. 📺 Watch the full media availability by visiting our YouTube page, linked on our profile.

In Abbotsford last year, more than 1,200 impaired drivers were removed from the road. Each one represents a potential tragedy that was stopped. Impaired driving is entirely preventable. If you suspect an impaired driver, call 911.

Ata Marie te whanau ma 🤙🏾😀A moment on the road. A life gone forever. If you hit someone — you stop. You check if they’re breathing. You call for help. Driving away isn’t a mistake. It’s a choice. And that choice can cost a life. Road safety isn’t optional. It’s responsibility.

🚨 This is reckless. No excuses. Crossing a solid line. Passing at a crosswalk. While people are crossing. That’s not a mistake — that’s a choice. And it’s exactly how people get seriously hurt. If you’re in that much of a rush, you shouldn’t be behind the wheel. Slow Your Roll isn’t just a slogan. It’s the difference between someone getting home… or not. If you see driving like this, send it in. People need to understand what’s actually happening on our roads. We hope that Lethbridge Police Service will be having a conversation with this driver. #SlowYourRoll #Lethbridge #DriveSafe This video is courtesy of an anonymous post on what’s going on Lethbridge.
