Saanich is a healthy community. We promote active transportation and the safe and efficient use of our roads. You have many good ways to get around.
Stay aware and commute with care
The collection arms on our refuse trucks can reach up to nine feet and extend across protected bike lanes. We are installing flashing AirBar safety devices on our fleet to increase visibility.
What should I do when I see a refuse truck up ahead?
Lower your speed and stay aware. The flashing AirBar indicates a slow-moving work zone, and the collection arm may be in extended position.
Saanich is developing a Road Safety Action Plan
