I saw traffic numbers a few months ago but not since. (I'm on limited bandwidth today, but it should be Googlable.)
I use the highway to commute occasionally, from northwest Regina to south Regina (it's similar in time but longer in distance than my commuting alternatives via Ring Road and Lewvan Drive). Last year it would have rocked with the Lewvan and Ring Road construction going on. This year it's a nice alternative, especially if I have to run any errands north and west of where I live after work.
I took it two days ago to get to highway 1 west to get out here to the Cypress Hills. It's by far the easiest way for us to get to highway 1 now, and it's a pretty good way to get to highway 11 too. (Not sure it's faster, but there's less traffic along 9th Ave N than there is along Pasqua St. N.)
It's not busy exactly but it's gradually getting more traffic over time.
I haven't been on the stretches south of the original highway 1 out to highway 1 east more than three or four times, so I can't comment. I have a US mailbox and was starting to use the bypass to connect to highway 6 south instead of taking Lewvan Drive to Highway 1, or taking the Ring Road around, but I obviously haven't done that since March.
