Read the road, not your phone (or printed materials). Distracted drivers are 3x more likely to be involved in collisions than attentive drivers. Please drive safely Edmonton. #SafeRoads
It’s illegal under Alberta’s distracted driving laws to read printed materials while driving, or to write, print or sketch, even at red lights. For more info: https://t.co/9dHAjXKMA8

Phone down. Eyes up. Research shows that distracted driving plays a role in 20% to 30% of all crashes. Please drive safely Edmonton. #ABRoads #YegTraffic
Distraction is dangerous for all road users. It is illegal to use electronic devices in vehicles on all roads in the province, even while stopped at a red light. For more info: https://t.co/9dHAjXKMA8

Today we remember David Finkelman, who was crossing Whyte Avenue on Jan. 27, 2014 in the middle of the day when he was killed by a distracted driver. This tragedy was completely preventable.
