- What the Highway Hotline is: Saskatchewan’s Highway Hotline provides real-time highway conditions, closures, construction zones, ferries, and weather impacts.

- Ongoing promotions encouraging travelers to check Highway Hotline before trips, especially around holidays or winter conditions, to stay informed about closures and weather conditions.[7]
