Roads bylaws
The Public Roads Bylaw #4346 and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Bylaw #2759 ensure safe travel in our community.
Roadway System Master Plan
The Roadway System Master Plan (RSMP) guides the effective management of traffic operations. It identifies the city's future road network requirements based on growth projections outlined in the 2012 Municipal Development Plan.
Also included in the process was a detailed review of the proposed Alberta Transportation improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 3. This identified potential upgrades to City infrastructure that could be implemented in coordination with the province.
Options for a future south west connector were also presented with an intent to identify a preferred alignment at a future date.
The Roadway System Master Plan is currently being updated.
Traffic Counts Program
The City of Medicine Hat’s yearly Traffic Counts Program monitors traffic at various locations throughout the City. The data collected helps The City to understand changes in traffic and pedestrian volumes and patterns travelling on the roadways in Medicine Hat and helps support planning, design, construction, and operation of the road network.
The data is also used to help The City make decisions on how to enhance Medicine Hat’s transportation system and to monitor the goals set out in the Medicine Hat Transportation Master Plan (TMP).
