Whether you like it or not, winter is fast approaching, which means winter tire requirements will be needed on many northern B.C. highways.

With traffic expected to pick up over the final long weekend of summer, drivers across the North are being reminded that flashing amber lights at the roadside carry the same Slow Down, Move Over requirements as flashing emergency lights.

As roadside work increases, Road Safety at work is reminding drivers to stay alert to help protect workers.

Road Safety at Work is reminding drivers to be on the lookout for four-legged pedestrians this spring. 

"Warmer days can give drivers a false sense of security," said Road Safety at Work Spokesperson Trace Acres. "But in many parts of B.C., winter conditions can return quickly and without much warning." 

Drivers who find themselves on BC highways will need to have winter tires installed starting Wednesday.
