Dear editor,Road safety is always a big issue for people, especially our seniors.So anything the Government of B.C. can do that increases road safety is obviously a good thing and something we should be looking at.That’s why I was excited to hear about a new kind of reflective material being used to make traffic lines on roads easier to see. Apparently it actually shines your headlights’ beam back at you!I haven’t seen these new reflective lines myself, but friends who have, on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, tell me they’re really helpful and even work well on a dark rainy night. I don’t know why nobody thought of doing this sooner, but it sure is a good idea and I would love to see the same thing done on the Island Highway.Lesley Bates,Courtenay
