How should I prepare for long-distance drives in New Brunswick?

Plan your route to include stops in larger centres like Moncton where services are abundant, and always keep your fuel tank above half full when travelling rural areas.

Reduce speed on gravel and secondary roads common throughout rural New Brunswick, and watch for farm equipment during harvest seasons around Aulac and surrounding agricultural areas.
