[2] Albert Street is considered synonymous with Saskatchewan Highway 6, although signage now points Highway 6 to follow Ring Road and bypass the downtown area;[3][4] however, some maps and remnant signage and still show Highway 6 as following Albert Street through Regina.

Albert Street begins at the Ring Road (formerly the Trans-Canada Highway Bypass),[5] where it continues as Highway 6 south, and travels north through southern Regina's main commercial area.

North of 25th Avenue, it passes through Albert Street South, an upscale, historial residential neighbourhood of large mansions dating from the 1910s and 1920s.

Albert Street also forms the eastern boundary of Wascana Centre, providing access to the MacKenzie Art Gallery and Saskatchewan Legislative Building.

After crossing the Albert Memorial Bridge across Wascana Creek, it continues north through The Crescents, also an upscale, historic residential neighborhood, and passes by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum before passing through Regina's downtown core and intersects Victoria Avenue.
