Advantage Driver Training

Cyclists are traffic, too. When you’re behind the wheel and approaching a cyclist on the road, change lanes. Drivers are responsible for giving cyclists the space they need to ride safely. In the event of a collision between a bicycle and motor vehicle, a cyclist is much more likely to experience a serious injury or death. ...

NEW WINTER ROAD RULES ARE NOW IN EFFECT ACROSS MANITOBA

Winter driving can already feel stressful, especially when you are trying to figure out how close is too close around snowplows, cyclists, or roadside workers. That uncertainty has led to a lot of confusion over the years.
Because of that, the Manitoba government has introduced clearer road rules that are now officially in effect.
The goal is simple. Take the guesswork out and make winter roads safer for everyone.
Here is what drivers should know:

GIVE SNOWPLOWS MORE SPACE. When a snowplow has blue lights on, drivers must stay back:
30 metres on roads with speed limits of 80 km/h or lower
100 metres on faster roads. Passing is not allowed if visibility is poor or if it could interfere with their work.

MORE ROOM FOR CYCLISTS. Drivers now need to leave at least one full metre when passing someone on a bike. This brings Manitoba in line with other provinces and helps reduce close calls.

SAFER WORK ZONES FOR TOW TRUCKS. Tow truck and roadside assistance workers can now set up cones and warning signs to create space while helping drivers on busy roads.
These changes are about fewer close calls, safer winter drives, and protecting the people working out on our roads when conditions are tough.
