Official Spring Restriction Orders are issued every Tuesday and Friday (with the exception of Good Friday) by 12:30 p.m. (CST) during the ban period. Spring road restrictions are dependent on weather. Typically restrictions start in the first week of March, generally in the southwest of the province, and the remainder follow over a two or three week period. When restrictions are implemented, they may be in place for up to six weeks.

Restrictions may change with 48 hours notice. If a prolonged cold spell occurs during the restriction season, they may be removed until conditions warrant their implementation again.

Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation no longer publishes bans in the daily newspapers. Road Bans will be added and deleted each Tuesday and Friday by 12:00 noon, and come in effect within 48 hours.

If you would like to receive bans by fax please download the form below, print it out, fill in the required information and return to the STA. To view this form Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.
