Traffic safety

Be safe this Stampede and all summer long by knowing the rules about drinking, drugs and driving. Taking substances like alcohol and cannabis can affect your ability to drive. Impaired driving doesn't just mean drinking—it also includes cannabis and other mind-altering drugs, being too tired, or taking certain medications (prescribed and over the counter) that can make it dangerous to drive. 

Most casualty collisions involving alcohol happen late at night on weekends, between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. During Stampede, it can become even riskier: on average, 15 pedestrians are hit by vehicles, with 22 per cent of those collisions happening downtown. Let's share the road safely and look out for each other. Learn more Trafic safety tips.
