Unlike main highways, these roads are not designed to help you to get out of trouble if you happen to be travelling faster than the posted speed limit. The speed limits are to be taken seriously and should be regarded as maximums under ideal conditions. When there is no posted speed limit, the speed limit is 80 km/h under ideal conditions.

Railway crossings, crossroads and farm entrances are more difficult to see on these roads than when you're driving on provincial highways that provide better sight distances. You're also more likely to encounter slow-moving farm vehicles, livestock and wildlife.

Drive at a speed suited to the conditions. This means drive slowly. When you exit from a provincial highway, slow down. Keep your eyes up. You need all the advance notice you can get. Even though the main path on gravel is often in the centre of the road, it's important to stay to the right of centre when approaching and navigating hills and blind curves to allow room for oncoming vehicles that you cannot see.

These roads present driving challenges which differ from provincial highways. Sight distances may be shorter. There are no shoulders, curves are sharper and there are many T-intersections, which means that the road comes to an end, often with little notice.

Gravel surfaces may cause problems. At times, the gravel may be deep and loose, making it difficult to steer around curves. At other times there may be so little gravel that you're actually driving in dirt, which is very slippery when wet.

To steer in deep gravel, grasp the wheel firmly. Expect that the vehicle will wander. You'll not steer as precisely as you do on pavement, so don't fight it by turning the steering wheel too much - you could lose control.

When dry, gravel surfaces also create visibility problems. Every moving vehicle creates clouds of dust that make meeting and passing other vehicles very dangerous.
