The recent rain has created hazardous road conditions within the City of Medicine Hat. The Medicine Hat Police Service does not recommend travel within the city of Medicine Hat, until there has been some opportunity to sand the roads.

If you are traveling outside of the city, please check road condition using 511 Alberta https://511.alberta.ca/ prior to leaving.

If you see police at crash scenes, please slow down and obey directions of the officers on scene directing traffic. We have already experienced motorists crashing into parked police cars.

UPDATE

The City of Medicine Hat Municipal Works is out trying to sand key locations. However, they are also experiencing challenges in navigating hills. Please be patient with emergency crews and stay off the roads until further notice.
