The Safe Mobility Strategy 2021-2025 focuses on equitable safety because our streets are for everyone regardless of how they move around the city. Learn more about how we developed this strategy by reading the 2020 Vision Zero Annual Report: edmonton.ca/VisionZero @VisionZeroYEG

The City is changing how we clear snow and ice. To help crews clear streets quickly and safely, we are introducing a new citywide, two-phase parking ban. Learn more about the ban below! 👇#SafeTravels #yegsnow #yegtraffic

Is Canada’s Safest Driver in Edmonton?
One of our traffic safety partners, Parachute, has a contest where people share their driving habits by app, with prizes awarded to the ones with the highest score in safety.

There are two more days to give us your feedback on the actions we can take to eliminate serious and fatal crashes on our streets. Take the survey here to tell us what you think! edmontoninsightcommunity.ca/…

Over the past few days, we have caught several drivers travelling at high speeds across our city - including a vehicle going 192 km/hr on the Henday! Speeding puts you and other drivers on the road at risk. Please keep an eye on your speedometer and slow down. #yeg #yegtraffic

It’s not just in front of a school where drivers have to be careful. Many children walk or bike to school and may be crossing the street where drivers don’t expect them or visibility is affected. Please be aware and drive safe. #safetravels

30 km/h is safer. It reduces braking distance and increases the likelihood that everyone will escape serious injury or fatality in a crash. Please drive carefully and watch for children in playground zones. edmonton.ca/why30 #safetravels #safestreets #yegtraffic

Plan your back to school route before the first day. Find out about any construction or delays that might impact your drive to school this season at edmonton.ca/construction. #yegtraffic

School safety has all new meaning this year. Vehicles parked too close to crosswalks and intersections or are stopped in the middle of the road create dangerous congestion and visual obstructions which make it hard to see children crossing. Thank you for parking responsibly.
Vision Zero Edmonton retweeted
Please drive within the 30 km/h speed limit around schools to keep children safe. We know slower is safer. Since playground zones were implemented, collisions in school zones have decreased by 13%, and injuries & fatalities have decreased by 42%. edmonton.ca/why30

While out for a walk in the summer sun, please remember that construction zones are still active. For your safety, please stay off tracks and use the designated pedestrian walkways. #ValleyLine #YegLRT

Making a turn? Watch out for pedestrians who may be crossing.
Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk is very dangerous and carries a fine of $776 plus 4 demerit points #ABRoads #pedsafety
