Winter on the open prairie
If You're Stranded in a Saskatchewan Winter
SGI says most collisions in the province happen between November and March, when drifting and blowing snow, fog and whiteouts can badly cut visibility. In a whiteout, the sky, the horizon and the ground blend together, and it's hard to tell where you are on the road. Winters here are bitterly cold, and daytime highs can stay colder than minus 17 °C for weeks at a time. If your car stops out there:
- Stay with your vehicle. SGI warns that many people die when they leave their cars to walk for help in a blizzard.
- On a freeway, pull onto the shoulder as far right as you can, hazards on. Never stop in a traffic lane.
- Call us with the highway, your direction and the nearest town. We look for a partner for a boost, a winch-out or a tow.
Before you set out, check the Highway Hotline. When it says travel is not recommended, visibility is under 250 m or the road could become impassable, and SGI's advice is to stay home.
The long highways
Highways 1, 16, 11 and 2
Highway 1, the Trans-Canada, runs 654 km from the Alberta line west of Swift Current to the Manitoba line east of Moosomin. It's twinned the whole way, with a 110 km/h limit over most of it. Highway 16, the Yellowhead, runs from Lloydminster through North Battleford and Saskatoon to Yorkton and Manitoba. It's four-lane divided from the Alberta line to just east of Clavet, then two lanes with passing lanes the rest of the way.
Highway 11, the Louis Riel Trail, links Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. North of Prince Albert, Highway 2 heads up to La Ronge, and roads thin out in the southern boreal forest. From about La Ronge north, the climate is subarctic. A car that needs a tow up there may be a long way from the nearest shop.
Saskatchewan Questions
How slow do drivers have to go past the tow truck?
60 km/h. The Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook says drivers must slow to 60 km/h when passing a stopped towing or assistance vehicle with amber, or amber and blue, lights flashing. That doesn't apply to traffic going the other way on a divided highway, but it does on an undivided one.
Can you get someone to me north of Prince Albert?
It depends on exactly where you are. Call with the highway and the nearest community. If no partner can reach you, we'll tell you on the call so you aren't left waiting in the cold.
