Hit ice? Don't panic. Don't brake. Braking hard makes you lose traction and could lead to sliding even more. Let go of the brake, let go of the accelerator, and steer smoothly where you want to go. Remember: going slowly in the first place is your best bet. #ShiftIntoWinter

Can't say you didn't see us! 👀🧹 With a fresh wrap-job, this sweeper is ready to rejoin the fleet as crews sweep #BCHwy1 & #MaryHillBypass this week. #LowerMainland sweeping is mainly at night when there's less traffic. When you see them, slow down & move over. @TranBC_LMD

Crews are working tirelessly to perform snow removal, apply sand/salt in the #LowerMainland and we'll be working through the afternoon commute and overnight. We're asking motorists to be patient, give time and space to the highway maintenance vehicles at work for you @DriveBC

It may have stopped snowing for now but our crews still have to work all night and tomorrow salting roads and plowing wider lanes and ramps. Please please please don’t pass a snow plow. It is extremely dangerous @DriveBC @DriveBC_LM @TranBC_LM

Heavy rain can cause your vehicle to hydroplane. Here’s a tip! To regain traction, ease off the gas and avoid sudden braking. More tips: #ShiftIntoWinter

The sun has set and light rain falling. The weatherman says we might see snow around higher elevations later tonight. Bob says it’s time to load up and head out to pre-treat the roads. When you see Bob and his team on the roads tonight…Please give them room to work.

A great way to show respect for roadside workers is to make eye contact and be patient. Slow down, even if you don’t see anyone. More tips here: #ConeZoneBC
