Driving from Calgary to Edmonton (and back) today, I saw exactly one. And I believe it was damn near Red Deer. Saw at least 5 pulled over tow trucks/cops on the way out, and - it was insane today - over 20 on the way back.

Half the time people stopped, half the time it was 120 all the way. When people stopped, they went to 80, 70, 60, 50, and even 40. Out of province plates had no fucking clue what to do (I believe this law is unique to Alberta, certainly the first I've seen like it).

It's a complete gong show. I 100% agree with the idea, so don't get me wrong here. I just think we should have signs every 20km or so mentioning it. Drivers need to know what to do, and sorry AB, it's not obvious. Maybe in 50 years everyone will know but not today.

ontario and quebec have a similar law, ontario had signs every 50kish, quebec had 1 sign at the ontario border.
