🚸✨ Campbell River Steps Up Pedestrian Safety with Flashing Crosswalk Beacons! 🚦🚶‍♀️
We’re excited to see Campbell River taking strides to make walking safer and more accessible with the installation of four new flashing crosswalk beacons throughout the city!
Here’s where you’ll find these safety upgrades:
đź“Ť ERT Road and Maple Street
đź“Ť ERT Road and Evergreen Road
đź“Ť Highway 19A and Dahl Road
đź“Ť Highway 19A and Twillingate Road (coming soon, pending pavement markers)
These rapid rectangular flashing beacons are triggered by pedestrians pressing a button, warning oncoming vehicles to stop. As Melissa Heidema, the city’s transportation specialist, notes:
“Improving crosswalks encourages walking, improves safety, and promotes healthy lifestyles and community.”
ICBC contributed $26,800 toward this important initiative, demonstrating the power of partnerships in creating safer streets for everyone.
At JSF, we’re proud to support projects that prioritize community well-being and active transportation. Let’s continue building safer, healthier, and more connected communities.
🚦 Reminder for drivers and pedestrians: Stay mindful, share the road, and give right-of-way when required!
