The province says that it has completed $40 million in highway safety improvements all over the province since 2019.  This marks year two of a five-year $100 million strategy to improve safety at intersections and highways in Saskatchewan.

After the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash, the Government reviewed every intersection in the province.  That review is now complete and safety improvements are being made across the province.  This includes at the intersection of Highway 35 and 335, where all but two of the 13 safety recommendations made by an independent traffic safety engineer are complete.  The two remaining recommendations are scheduled for completion this year.

Some of the completed road safety projects include:

• Intersection improvements at:

o    Highway 1 and Kalium Road, west of Regina;

o    Highway 3 east of Prince Albert;

o    Highway 11 and Davidson South Commercial Access;

o    Highway 20 at Lumsden;

• Intersection and lighting improvements at Highway 21 and Highway 307;
• Pedestrian crosswalk improvements on Highway 155 in Buffalo Narrows;
• Railway crossing warning system upgrade on Highway 14 east of Biggar;
• Pedestrian crosswalk improvements on Highway 55 at Flying Dust First Nation; and
• Numerous intersection sight triangle improvements.
