The annual awareness campaign is organized by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) to promote safe driving behaviours.
The Alberta RCMP reminds road users that traffic safety is a shared responsibility.
In a press release, the RCMP said safe driving behaviours include聽staying focused on the road, following traffic signs and posted speed limits, driving sober as well as ensuring all vehicle occupants are properly restrained.
Last Thanksgiving long weekend, there were three fatalities and over 50 injuries in 410 motor vehicle collisions in Alberta RCMP jurisdictions.
The Alberta RCMP continues to work with Alberta Sheriffs and other law enforcement and safety partners to ensure Albertans make the right driving decisions.
