Each spring, from March 1 to May 15, half-load restrictions, five tons per axle, are in place on Town roads to protect their condition.

Load restrictions are required when warmer weather causes roads to become soft. Vehicles travelling with loads larger than the limit travel on them could potentially cause damage.
