❄️#BCHwy99 Snowfall in progress for the lower section of the #SeaToSky through #LionsBay. As most areas have transitioned to light rain, you may be surprised to find heavy snow falling here, with slushy and slippery sections present. 🛞 #WestVan #ShiftIntoWinter #UseWinterTires

With rainy fall weather & a decrease in daylight hours, pedestrians become more vulnerable. Roughly 42% of vehicle incidents with pedestrians happen through Nov to Jan. @icbc safety tips ➡️ https://t.co/8ROgeUaKUV #ShiftIntoWinter #RoadSafety #BCHwys @yyjtraffic @TranBC

YRB Crews are working to remove accumulations on #BCHwy5 as moderate snowfall leads to slushy/slippery conditions. Please drive with caution and be aware of crews working on the highway. @DriveBC #wintermaintenance #shiftintowinter

Driving in heavy rain can cause your car to hydroplane, please drive with caution. Ensure your headlights and taillights are on so everyone on the road can see you.💡 #ShiftintoWinter Let's all have a safe winter!❄️

As the days get darker, seeing people and things on the road gets more challenging. Slow down and be extra attentive. #ShareTheRoadBC #ShiftIntoWinter

Thick fog presently on the #Malahat. Winter driving doesn’t just mean snow and ice, it’s also fog, rain, poor visibility & lack of daylight. Always drive to the conditions with your #headlightson! #ShiftIntoWinter #SlowDown @yyjtraffic @TranBC

You are much harder to see in the dark than you might think. Make yourself visible with bright clothing, reflectors or a light. Use extra caution crossing roads."#ShareTheRoadBC #ShiftIntoWinter"
