In a March 27 press release, RCMP advised motorists of winter weather impacting road conditions throughout the province.
“Before travelling, check the weather and road conditions along your route. If poor weather or road conditions exist or are forecasted, consider delaying travel if possible,” read the release.
“If travel is necessary, stay on roads that have recently received road maintenance. Travellers can access information on road conditions and track which roads have been plowed, salted, and/or sanded within the last two hours at hotline.gov.sk.ca/map.”
Saskatchewan RCMP also reminds the public to avoid calling 911 or local RCMP detachments for updates on road conditions.
Calling 911 must be reserved for emergencies and crimes in progress, and using it in non-emergent situations could prevent someone with a life-threatening emergency from getting help.
