2010 Courtesy and Sharing the Road Campaign

“Courtesy begins by obeying the Highway Safety Code”

Obeying the Highway Safety Code means respecting others. This was the theme of the SAAQ's 2010 courtesy and sharing the road campaign.

The ads for the 2010 campaign – “Courtesy begins by obeying the Highway Safety Code” –highlighted ways to safely share the road with others.
