The civilian group looking to get the province to improve safety on Highway 6 is closing in on its goal when it comes to getting signatures on its petition.

Safer Highway 6 says it needs “much more” representation from northerners on the petition, and is encouraging people to circulate with their family and friends.

Volker Beckmann, who’s involved with Safer Highway 6, states in addition to the petition, he plans to present a plan to improve the highway when they meet with government.

Some of them include wide shoulders, passing lanes, lay-bys for rest stops, and rumble strips at key areas.
