Every light down 95 Ave in Edmonton is out, meaning every intersection is a 4 way stop, traffic is backed up, and accidents abound.
A lovely day in #Albertastan the day after. #yeg #yegwx #yegtraffic #TGIF
Large load to travel from Edmonton to Strathcona County this weekend https://www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/article/large-load-will-leave-edmonton-on-saturday-night-and-travel-3-nights-to-strathcona-county/
Yellowhead EB at Henday in the west end is apparently shut down due to a jackknifed semi.
Again, they are NOT kidding about that wind!
I'm writing from about 30 minutes NE of Edmonton. It's windy and slick. Careful opening your car doors. Maintain good footing. TURN YOUR FUCKING CAR LIGHTS ON. Don't be an idiot on the road. That wind pushes more than you're used to. Thanks for listening. #yeg #yegtraffic
I don't know who needs to hear this but when there's a foot of snow you're not going to get to where you're going fast. I don't care if you have AWD/4WD.
These systems let you take off fast, but ultimately, we're all stuck with 4 tires braking at the same time. Slow the fuck down.
Flooring it at an intersection is doing no good. You're creating ice and making the intersection worse. Feather that throttle like it's your girlfriend.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Observed today in #yeg:
1 cybertruck
1 SUV in the side of a building
1 big tough pickup truck (built for Alberta winters dontcha know?!) fishtailing in the snow
1 firetruck with lights on
1 ambulance with lights on
1 cop car with lights on
Several people ignoring "no turn" signs
Just a regular day then.

The driver FLED after witnessing the collision that they caused. There's a special place in hell for people like that....
Two #yegtraffic rants:
I’d really like it if people could turn down their high beams in the city.
Stop double parking in the bike lanes on 121 Street north of Brewery District.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I spotted my first #Tesla #Canyonero #Wankpanzer in Gold color near St. Albert Trail today. I also lol'ed (not self identified as a woman). Bet I won't see it again when Winter is here. #yeg #yegwx #yegtraffic

I am crushed today. Just learned that my #JEEP mechanic for the past thirty years passed away in August. #RIPGil The shop is in good hands with Jared though. #yeg #yegtraffic Can't recommended this place enough.

I'm pretty shocked that 25% of people are oblivious to the danger.
