As it does every year, the Sûreté du Québec is urging drivers to exercise caution on the roads during the long Easter vacation, from now until April 1.

Police will be paying particular attention to high-risk road behaviors, including excessive speed, failure to wear a seatbelt, cell phone use while driving, and driving ability impaired by alcohol or drugs.

As the SQ is anticipating an increased flow of traffic that could lead to certain road constraints, it suggests that road users consult the Québec 511 website to plan their trips.

As some vehicles are already equipped with summer tires, and spring is slowly settling in, weather conditions can vary from one region to another, and change during the course of the same day, so it's important to be on the lookout and adapt your driving to road conditions.
