ICBC’s Road Improvement Program We care about building safer communities and safer roads, and have invested more than $120 million in road improvements across the province since 1989.
ICBC’s Road Improvement Program works in partnership with municipalities and the provincial government on delivering road enhancements. Projects include roundabouts, pedestrian signals, rumble strips, medians, sign upgrades and intersection improvements.
In 2013, ICBC invested $8 million in road improvements projects across B.C.
We work with communities to identify high-crash areas and make improvements that benefit everyone – drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Simply put, safer drivers and roads mean fewer crashes, injuries and deaths.
If you’d like to learn more about the program or have a suggestion for making a road or intersection in your community safer, contact your ICBC road safety coordinator.
