Road Allowances
Lethbridge County has many undeveloped road allowances.
These may look like part of the agricultural landscape or coulee land but they are public lands - roadways that do not have a road constructed on them.
Unless the road allowance is licensed to an adjacent landowner, it is public property and may be legally accessed by the public. Although the road allowance itself may be public, the lands on either side are often privately owned.
A typical road allowance is 20 meters wide, and any deviation from that area would be considered trespassing on private property. Before entering onto land, be sure to check that you are not trespassing on someone else's property. Please also remember that as per Lethbridge County Bylaw #1405, dogs on public property must be on a leash at all times. Do not allow your dog to enter onto someone else's property or harass livestock.

An undeveloped road allowance can be identified within two orange lines and when you click on the area in between the lines, a box will appear stating the status of the area:

Road Bans
Hard top and gravel roads are banned each spring as temperatures rise and these roads become more susceptible to deterioration. Equipment and heavy truck traffic are required to follow these bans to protect our valuable infrastructure system. Lethbridge County announces road bans on our website, social media, and app when they are put in place and removed.
