• Check before driving: Manitoba 511 provides road updates and a Track My Plow feature showing active plows and their routes over the past two hours.
• Road closures: Travelling on a closed road is illegal and may result in a fine.
• Road information tools: The province says it recently installed 20 digital message boards and 19 highway cameras.
