The main concern and hope for opposition leader Ryan Meili, and the NDP, regarding intersection safety, is that the progress and action taken towards it is moving forward. 

Ever since the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy took place on April 6th at the intersection of Hwy 35 and 335, there have been discussions on how to make that intersection, among others similar, safer for drivers.

The main concern for Meili is the length of time it has taken for any development or improvements to be put in place. "This seems to be something that should be pretty straightforward. It shouldn't take months and months to assess a single intersection. They should have been able to come up with a plan and an action on that plan over the summer. Now we're going to have to wait another winter with that corner continuing to be risky. I think the people of Saskatchewan are expecting to see quicker action than that."

Independent reports through the Ministry of Highways were contracted out and are currently being conducted, after which safety changes could be seen. No official date has been made when the results from the report will be completed.

"It's not clear what their process is, that is what we were asking the other day in the house. Why haven't we seen their report yet? What's taking so long? Will it be made fully public?" said Meili.

As for improvements that could have taken place over the summer "rumble strips" were one thing Meili hinted at. 

"There are a number of different options. There are studies that show for uncontrolled intersections that roundabouts are actually the safest way, and that decreases the number of injuries or fatalities at such intersections considerably. I think they should be looking at what the evidence says is the best way to make sure that you are putting safety first.  Obviously, the economic use and the efficiency of the use of our roads matters a great deal, but what matters the most is that people get from point A to point B without getting hurt on the way."
