Winter tire regulations still in effect for some highways across BC
VICTORIA—The Ministry of Transportation is reminding British Columbians that winter tire regulations are in effect until the end of April.
Winter tire regulations remain in place on several Highways across BC until April 30. While highways and roads remain open, the government wants to remind the public that BC’s Provincial Health Officer is recommending that people stay close to home and avoid any non-essential travel.
Those who must travel should ensure that their tires are in good condition and have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 millimetres. On rural highways and mountain passes, tires with the mountain /snowflake symbol provide the best traction and handling.
