Lauren L. with granddaughter Brianna (6)
Winvan Paving Ltd.
- Canada Way and Kensington Avenue, Burnaby
To Surrey resident Lauren, motorists need to pay closer attention to dangers around a worksite and to slow down. The inattention of some motorists, sometimes as a result of talking on mobile phones, has caused vehicles to drive on the wrong side of the road. “I have heard of other people that have not been that lucky,” says Lauren “One person was my work partner that was struck by a pickup. People need to know we aren’t out there just to get in their way. We try to get them through as quickly as possible.”

Mary faces the daily challenge of motorist speed and vehicles passing in close proximity to people. Once, a truck refused to slow down and since she could not safely get off the road in time, the vehicle came within inches of hitting her.
