Year Round Operations

One of the key responsibilities of Public Works is maintaining the County's network of traffic control and information signs. Public Works is responsible for:

• 1,000 regulation signs (e.g., speed limits, stop signs)
• 2,500 warning signs (e.g., curves, intersections, hazards)
• 3,400 informational signs (e.g., road names, directional signs)

This work is carried out by the maintenance team using a specialized sign truck, equipped with the necessary tools and materials to install and repair signs year-round. All regulation signs are installed according to the Alberta Transportation Highway Signs Guidelines and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada.

The County appreciates the public reporting missing or vandalized signs. To ensure the safety of the public, this must be corrected. To report such an issue, please use Newell Connect or call 403-794-2311.

Please note: The County does not maintain municipal address signs. For more information > Municipal Addressing

Public Works, in collaboration with Agricultural Services, manages tree cutting and brush reduction in areas where:

• Motorist visibility is reduced
• Regular road operations are impacted
• Snow drifting becomes a problem

The County encourages residents to maintain vegetation on private property to help improve safety and road conditions.
