Plan ahead. Download the Waze app for real-time driver info and use The City’s other traveller information tools. Visit calgary.ca/trafficinfo for a full list of traffic events, incidents, closures and detours.

Be safe. Slow down.

At Easter and every day, we’re asking drivers to reduce their speed. We all understand that speeding is dangerous, but we may not understand that every kilometre over the speed limit increases the risk of a crash. Visit calgary.ca/besafe  and calgary.ca/traffictips to learn more about what you can do keep yourself and others safe on our roads and pathways.
