The Regional Municipality of Durham has announced that weight restrictions on regional roads will take effect starting March 1. These restrictions apply to vehicles exceeding 5,000 kilograms or five tonnes per axle. Implemented to safeguard road infrastructure during the spring thaw, the restrictions are aligned with the Highway Traffic Act and Regional By-law 26-2018.

Roads become more susceptible to damage during spring thaw conditions, prompting these temporary restrictions. The exact duration of the restrictions will depend on weather and road conditions, as stated by municipal officials.

Residents and businesses within Durham Region should be aware of these restrictions to ensure compliance. Updates on the restriction period will be available through the Regional Municipality of Durham's official communications channels.
