Road Use Guide
In order to accommodate industrial and commercial road users in our
Municipality, while at the same time protecting our road infrastructure,
Council for Saddle Hills County has implemented policies concerning Road
Bans and Road Maintenance Agreements. The purpose is to provide industrial
and commercial road users with a guide to Saddle Hills’ current
policy to ensure that the requirements for use of the Municipal Road
Network is fully understood.
In addition, Council has adopted Bylaws to ensure compliance with their
policies, and has developed Road Maintenance Agreements to facilitate
the use and integrity of our roads by industrial and commercial road users.
