Spring Load Restrictions

Effective Friday March 8, 2019 all Grey Highlands Municipal roads will be under a reduced load restriction (5 tonnes per axle) until further notice.

The load restriction period typically occurs between March 1 and May 1, dependent on weather and road conditions, as per 2019-018 Load Restriction By-law.

Depending on existing and forecasted environmental conditions and the existing condition of the road network, the Director of Transportation and Environmental Services may, at his discretion, extend the “Load Restriction” period if deemed necessary. Check the Municipal website for updates.

Not all roads have signs posted. The restriction applies to all Municipal roads, regardless of where signs are posted.

Under the Highway Traffic Act, Section 122, reduced load restrictions are placed on trucks to protect Ontario's highways during spring thaw, when road damage is most likely to occur. Enforcement will be provided by the MTO and OPP officers.
