With temperatures heating up and traffic increasing, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP is reminding everyone to take extra care out on the roads this summer. Whether you’re driving, cycling, walking, or riding a scooter road safety is a shared responsibility.

It’s that time of year with the warmer weather and longer days that more and more people are getting outside, states Constable Chris Terleski, Media Relations Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. With the surge in outdoor activity, our roads get really busy here in the North Okanagan which is why it’s really important you stay alert and pay full attention when you’re out.

Incidents between vehicles and more vulnerable road users can have serious consequences so police are offering some safety reminders everyone can use to help prevent collisions.

Drivers

Cyclists

Scooter Riders

Pedestrians

Pay full attention when you are out and about and be considerate of others, adds Terleski. Make good choices, look out for one another, and together we can make sure everyone gets to where they are going safely this summer.
