Winter is coming; expect poor driving conditions
Much of Prince Albert and area is currently under winter driving conditions, issued by the Ministry of Highways via Highway Hotline.
According to Doug Wakabayashi, from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, the current weather system which has brought warmer temperatures during the day and sub-zero temperatures at night, shouldn’t be too bad.
“One thing motorists should be aware of during the evening hours… there’s a lot of wet pavement in the area right now,” he said. “Once the sun starts to go down, you can get icy patches fairly quickly.”
Wakabayashi said the ice patches could form inconsistently along highways and reminded drivers to check the Highway Hotline before traveling and drive according to weather and road conditions.
