Road improvements make a
difference. Stop signs, left turn bays
and signals, clearly visible traffic
lights, reflective pavement markings
and signs; they can change a road
from risky to safe.

Over the years ICBC has helped
to fund many road improvement
projects by working with the Ministry
of Transportation & Highways, BC
Transportation Financing Authority
and tocal governments. Together we
identify which segments of roads

and intersections are causing concern
and then we ‘develop solutions that
will help reduce any potential danger.
After doing this’ work, we've found
on the whole there are fewer crashes.
Fewer crashes: mean fewer claims.
It's one of the reasons We're able to
keep insurance rates ‘affordable.

So we're committed to making
our Road improvement program an
ongoing investment. Don’t be
surprised if you find us working in
your neighbourhood. .
