From March 1 to April 30 every year, in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act and By-Law 2010-19, reduced load restrictions are placed on trucks to protect roads and bridges during spring thaw, when road damage is likely to happen.
Farm equipment, including mounted implements, are not subject to the reduced weight rules on "load reduced roads", Class B roads or bridges. However, heavy farm equipment owners are potentially liable if an overweight vehicle causes damage to a highway or bridge.
