If the driver is double checking the tarps, the rumble strips would have likely alerted him and avoided this.

I 100% agree with you.
However these kinds of highways in Saskatchewan are no where near engineering specifications to even enable rumble strips in several locations.
Rumble strips at a minimum would require resurfacing 2-4 km of roadway. Based on my recollection of this highway it didn’t appear to even have an adequate width and constructed road base that would align with current safety standards.
The secondary highway network in Saskatchewan is a joke that is legitimized by lipspeak, not strategically planned, designed, & engineered infrastructure capacity. Since the explosion of intermodal grain transport over 20 years ago an outdated network has been continually limped forward with band aids, hopes, & prayers.
