Yesterday afternoon, we here at Victoria Buzz got numerous messages from Victorians who were curious as to why there were quite a few traffic flaggers along Highway 1.

According to a CHEK News report, flaggers from across Victoria were rallying after a female flagger was hit by a vehicle last week.

It was a hit-and-run as the vehicle did not stop, and the woman’s condition is unknown. The rally, therefore, was planned by SPR Traffic Safety in order to bring attention to the dangers of being a traffic flagger.

DriveBC described the rally as a “special event” occurring between 3:45 and 4:30 PM – now we know what it was!

Here’s a video sent by one of our followers:
