North is designated a remote highway that traverses through some of the most beautiful scenery in the province. It is one of only two land routes to the State of Alaska and has small populated areas along the way. Although no restrictions are placed on hours for travelling this road, motorists are cautioned that there may be logging trucks on various sections of the highway between Kitwanga and Meziadin Jct. The highway is still being constructed and gravelled and it will be some time before all the work is finished. The public is advised to drive with care.
Road conditions vary depending on the weather and the time of year.
Dust from passing vehicles can also limit visibility. Travel with headlights on at all times. In wet weather watch for loose surfaces on gravel sections. Fallen trees and large rocks on the road are also a concern in these conditions. Watch for blowing and drifting snow during windy weather.
