Pedestrians encouraged to be seen in crosswalks
KAMLOOPS — With the weather getting colder and days getting shorter, Kamloops RCMP gathered with ICBC, community policing volunteers, and BC Transportation Minister Todd Stone Monday morning to promote pedestrian safety.
“We typically see about 230 pedestrians injured in the Southern Interior every year and that’s far too many,” says Stone. “So we really need to work together to bring that number down.”
Wearing bright yellow reflective vests, Stone and the rest of the team handed out safety reflectors to pedestrians at the busy intersection of Columbia and Victoria Avenue in downtown Kamloops.
