Seasonal load restriction by-law

Each year we put weight restrictions on Loyalist Township roads from March 1 until April 30. Reducing load restrictions helps protect the road bed during times when the ground is soft due to thawing. Loads are restricted to 5 tonnes per axle during the weight restriction period.

The County of Lennox and Addington also places the same weight restrictions on County-owned roads in Loyalist Township during the same period of time.

Exemptions to the by-law

Under certain circumstances, carriers can apply for exemptions to the weight restrictions.

For questions regarding County reduced load restrictions, please contact the County at 613-354-4883, ext. 3235.

For questions regarding Township reduced load restrictions, please contact the Township at 613-386-7351, ext. 116.
