⚠️ Welcome to the first edition of Safety Tuesday!

When it comes to vehicle stopping distances, it is important to remember that stopping takes more than just reaction time. Speed, road conditions, and braking distance all play a role, which is why giving yourself enough space matters.

Keep these reminders in mind:
- Stopping distance is more than just reaction time.
- Braking takes space.
- The faster you go, the longer it takes to stop.
- Braking is not instant.
- Higher speeds mean greater stopping distances.
- A vehicle travelling at 80 km/h can take up to 123 m to stop.
- Follow the 3-second rule to help maintain a safer distance.

Safety starts with awareness and the space we leave to react.

Join us in celebrating one of our valued team members at Beacon Lite Traffic, Pablo, Municipal Traffic Technician.

Pablo is someone our team can always count on. He is always willing to take on any job that comes his way and never refuses the work that needs to be done. Whether he is helping dig out fences and signs stuck in piles of snow, staying late, coming in early, or stepping up during an emergency, Pablo is always ready to help.

He is known not only for his reliability, but also for the way he shows up every day with a friendly attitude and a willingness to support those around him. Both the office and field teams know they can count on him, and that kind of dependability makes a real difference.

Thank you, Pablo, for your hard work, dedication, and the support you bring to the team every day. Your commitment to Beacon Lite does not go unnoticed, and you are very much appreciated.
