When fall arrives, hours of daylight shrink, making it can be hard to see pedestrians in the morning and evening. Approach crosswalks and intersections with caution and only proceed after pedestrians have finished crossing the street. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #pedsafety

Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility. Whether you’re driving, cycling or walking, pay attention, follow the rules of the road and look out for one another. A moment of inattention can have life-changing consequences. #PedestrianSafety

Pedestrian safety risks increase at this time of year. From September to November, the monthly average of pedestrian injury and fatal collisions is 41% higher than other months. Slow down, stay alert and look out for one another. #PedestrianSafety

With permanent daylight-saving time, darker fall and winter mornings mean pedestrians can be harder to see. Drivers: slow down, stay alert and yield at crosswalks. Pedestrians: follow signals, cross safely and make yourself visible. #PedestrianSafety

Always cross at intersections and crosswalks, especially in bad weather. Drivers may not have enough time and space to stop safely if you cross mid-block. #ABRoads #pedsafety

Be extra careful when approaching intersections and crosswalks during bad weather. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Pedestrian collisions are more likely during months of low light conditions, so use extra caution when there is low light, such as a late sunrise or early sunset.

Slow down and follow the speed limit when driving on residential streets and through school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #pedsafety #drivingtips

Pedestrians always have the right-of-way at an unmarked intersection or stop sign unless indicated by signage #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Making a turn? Watch out for pedestrians who may be crossing. Not stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk can have tragic consequences – it also carries a fine of $810 plus 4 demerit points #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Compared to the rest of the year, there are about 40 per cent more collisions involving pedestrians between September and November. Please use extra caution when approaching intersections. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Please be extra careful near crosswalks, schools, and in playground zones for children and other vulnerable road users. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Nearly half of collisions with school buses are the result of driver error – focus on driving and nothing else. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

The Government of Alberta and the Government of Canada have committed to work together to advance a high-speed passenger rail connection between Calgary & Edmonton. Alberta is preparing to launch an RFP this fall. bit.ly/4jsDiQq @ABDanielleSmith @DevinDVote

On average, approximately 41 children (pedestrians and bicyclists) are injured in crosswalks each year in Alberta. Avoid tragedy and slow down in school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety

Remember to slow down & look for kids at crosswalks & intersections, especially near school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DrivingTips #DriveSafe #RoadSafety
