UPDATE March 9, 2022: Notice is given that half load restrictions will be in place on all municipal roads beginning March 15, 2022. However, current thawing conditions may warrant the implementation of half load restrictions at an earlier date. This page will be updated regularly with changes.
All municipal roads
Under the authority of the Highway Traffic Act the Municipality of Neebing can put restrictions in place prohibiting heavy vehicles on all municipal roadways.
While load restrictions are in place, no person shall operate, or cause to be operated, a vehicle having a weight of greater than 5,000 kilograms per axel on all municipal roads.
It is normal for spring thaw conditions to warrant weight restrictions on municipal roads. Such restrictions may be imposed at any time when the thaw starts and will continue to be in place until the frost has left the roadbed. Historically, restrictions are in place from approximately mid-March to mid-June annually. Changes in the freeze/thaw patterns may lengthen or shorten this time frame. It is the Working Roads Foreman who will make the call on the duration of the load restrictions. Monitor this website and Neebing's Facebook page for updates and information on load restrictions.
Chip seal surfaced roads
Outside of the spring load restrictions, no person shall operate a vehicle having a registered gross vehicle weight of greater than 25,000 kilograms on roads having a chip seal surface without first obtaining a municipal licence and permit. By-law 2012-944 includes details on the system for the application, approval and exemptions of licencing and permits to haul on chip seal surfaced roadways.
