Drivers are being reminded to slow down and if safe to do so, move over for emergency and maintenance vehicles with flashing red, blue or amber lights.
According to the RCMP, between 2014 and 2023, 251 workers were hit by vehicles, with nine being killed in BC while working beside or on the road.
It said legally, drivers travelling in a 80 kilometres an hour or faster speed zone must slow down to 70 kilometres an hour when driving past a stopped emergency or maintenance vehicle.
If the speed zone is less than 80 kilometres an hour, drivers must slow down to 40 kilometres an hour.
Drivers who fail to slow down and/or move over near stopped emergency or maintenance vehicles can face a $173 ticket, including 3 penalty points on their driving record.
