B.C. Cone Zone campaign is now entering into its 11th year and aims to remind drivers, employers and workers to do their part to prevent injuries and deaths of roadside workers in Terrace and other communities in the Kitimat-Stikine region.
Between 2011 and 2020, 12 roadside workers were killed and 207 were injured in B.C. The risk is more prevalent in the summer months as roadside work increases as does traffic.
The campaign reminds drivers to slow down when approaching a Cone Zone and to pay attention to instructions from traffic controllers.
Cone Zones are work areas that are set up by roadside workers to protect themselves and the driving public.
