New Alberta highway rule changes effective March 1st

As of Wednesday, March 1,  Alberta drivers will need to obey new rules when passing emergency vehicles on highways. 

On a multi-lane road, when a vehicle is stopped with its flashing lights on all traffic traveling in the same direction must reduce their speed to 60 km/h or the posted speed limit whichever is slower.

However, on a single-lane highway, all drivers regardless of direction must slow down to 60 km/h or  the posted speed limit whatever is slower.

The change was passed in the Alberta Traffic Safety Amendment Act.
