GETTING AROUND

Tips for driving on gravel highways:

Approach bends, bridges, and other limited visibility spots slowly – vehicles may cross the centre line to straighten out a curve, or there may be wildlife on the road.
Reduce speed when meeting other vehicles to minimize dust.
Dust-free passing zones are located and posted on all NWT highways.
Travel with your headlights on at all times, especially on gravel in summer.
Remove your foot from the accelerator just as you meet other vehicles to reduce the risk of throwing a rock in their direction.
Red diamond markers on paved highways indicate a significant bump. Carry a good spare tire and first aid/emergency road kit – and don’t forget the bug repellent!
Watch for bison, especially on Northwest Territories Highways 3,5 and 7
Call ahead for road conditions and construction
