Ok I admit, this is not about scrapbooking, but it is for everyone's safety. This is a reminder with summer travel coming up. Give Emergency vehicles and operators room to work. Save yourself a HUGE fine! As a retired RCMP's kids, I have known about this for years. I have followed it for years. I have know people who have been killed doing their job. It shocks and amazes me how many people do not know this is law. Please be safe this summer, and keep others around you safe too.
The Give Us Room to Work campaign is supported by law enforcement, fire rescue, EMS, towing and other roadside assistance vehicle operators throughout the province. In 2005, the Alberta Traffic Safety Act was amended to include tow and utility vehicles working at roadside. The Act requires drivers to slow to 60 km/h, or less if the posted speed is lower, and move out of the lane adjacent to roadside workers when they see vehicle lights flashing. Drivers who fail to do this can expect fines ranging from $115 to $703 or more.
