ICBC supporting road safety
When we help make roads safer, your chances of being in a crash are reduced.
Fewer crashes mean fewer injuries and less damage. Translation:
lower claim costs, and more affordable insurance for everyone.
At ICBC we believe it makes sense, both financially
and from a community standpoint, for us to help keep your roads
safe.
Road Improvement Program
We analyze traffic problems and contribute money to road
improvements that will make B.C. roads safer for all
users. One new traffic innovation is the roundabout, which can help
reduce serious crashes. Find out how to safely navigate roundabouts
from our RoadSense
Tips.
In 2007, ICBC invested approximately $8.9 million in road improvements across the province. View 2007 road improvements in your community
MISSION POSSIBLE @ Work
— road safety for employees
MISSION
POSSIBLE @ Work is a workplace road safety educational program that helps employees reduce their risk while driving.
In 2005 in British Columbia, 459 people were killed* and 78,000 people** were injured in motor vehicle crashes on our roads. Whether crashes occur on or off the job, one thing's for sure, the financial costs to companies can be staggering. Employers may end up paying for:
- wages for temporary workers and for those in recovery
- recruitment and training costs
- higher insurance premiums
- legal expenses
- and more
