Alberta RCMP is requesting motorists use caution while driving on provincial highways during a province-wide highway cleanup, taking place May 3 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The campaign will involve over 12,000 participants, 8,000 of whom will be children from 4H Clubs, Junior Forest Wardens, and other youth groups.
Participants will be wearing safety vests, and there will be caution posters placed adjacent to clean-up areas.
The Alberta RCMP asks motorists to slow down in marked cleanup areas and to be aware of added foot-traffic.
There will be added patrols across provincial highways to enforce traffic safety and prevent speeding in these areas.
