Drivers in Dawson Creek are about to see some new signs when driving around town.
A set of highly visible “Report Impaired Drivers” signs have been installed, in a variety of locations.
It’s encouraging the general public to call 9-1-1 to report drivers who are suspected of being impaired.
RCMP say that impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal fatalities on BC highways.
“The unfortunate truth is that these fatalities are entirely preventable, BC Highway Patrol is working with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada, Dawson Creek RCMP, and the City of Dawson Creek, and we think this effort will help keep our community safer and raise awareness about the impacts of impaired driving.” – Constable James Burton with BC Highway Patrol

BC Highway Patrol in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John are working every day with community partners to enforce the law and make sure that you and your loved ones get home safe.
