Labour Day long weekend and back to school warnings for drivers
MEDICINE HAT, AB. – The Labour Day weekend is the last long weekend of summer and RCMP are already seeing an increase in traffic on highways across Alberta.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Sean Maxwell says Mounties expect an increase in the number of people travelling over the next few days.
“We just always ask the public to give themselves plenty of time to get where they need to be going, exercise some patience and make sure that they understand that the highway and secondary roads, to and from where they are going could be busier than they normally are. We just want people to plan accordingly,” he said.
