I am personally affected by the issue of unsafe roads during the snow season in british columbia especially on highway between calgary and Vancouver. As a regular commuter, I have experienced firsthand the dangers of navigating poorly maintained highways in snowy conditions. The local highway authority's lackadaisical approach to clearing snow from our highways poses a significant risk to all road users and needs immediate attention.

According to data from the Federal Highway Administration, 24% of weather-related vehicle crashes occur on snowy, slushy or icy pavement and 15% happen during snowfall or sleet (Federal Highway Administration). This is an alarming statistic that underscores the urgency for better road maintenance during winter months.

We are not asking for miracles; we are simply requesting that our highway authority fulfill its duty to keep our roads safe. It is their responsibility to ensure that proper measures are taken promptly when it comes to clearing snow off highways. This includes deploying more plows during heavy snowfall and ensuring thorough de-icing procedures are followed.

By signing this petition, you can help us send a strong message to our local highway authority about their obligation towards public safety. Let's work together in urging them to prioritize efficient and effective road clearance during the snow season – because everyone deserves safe travels no matter what time of year it is.
