For public safety, the Whoop-Up Drive speed limit remains reduced to 60 km/h until further notice due to winter conditions. Conditions are being monitored around the clock, and the city will provide updates as they deem necessary.

The city is asking drivers to adjust their driving for winter road conditions, use caution when approaching and crossing bridge decks and intersections, and to please not pass snow plows.
