Canada Road Safety Week begins today and runs until the 20th.
The annual awareness campaign focuses on behaviors that put drivers, passengers and other road users at risk such as distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding and not wearing a seatbelt.
A statement from Manitoba Public Insurance says road safety is the responsibility of all Manitobans and that one vehicle fatality is too many.
Pedestrians account for nearly 50 percent of this year’s road fatalities.
