When half-load restrictions are in effect, temporary signs will indicate when a road is off-limits to vehicles exceeding 5 tonnes per axle.
Half-load restrictions are generally from March to May. Exact dates are set annually, dependent on road conditions and temperatures.
Roads become softer and weaker during the spring thaw. Heavy vehicle traffic on these roadways can cause permanent damage. Following half-load restrictions reduces the potential for any unnecessary road repairs or reconstruction.
