Load Restrictions

Most of Dysart's roads are subject to "reduced load periods" during the spring thaw when roads are weakest and most susceptible to heavy truck damage. Reduced load periods reduce the allowable weight of a vehicle to 5,000kg per axle while roads are posted. Vehicles exceeding these restrictions will be subject to penalties under theĀ Highway Traffic Act, Section 122.
