Excess Load Permits

The movement of commercial vehicles on public roads throughout Ontario is regulated under the Highway Traffic Act. Maximum vehicle load weights and sizes are defined in the Act.

All Heavy/Wide Load permits are processed by York Region.

For City roads designated as “Half Load Restriction Year Round” a special permit may be issued by the City for the moving of heavier and / or larger vehicle loads than those specified in the Act.

Excess Load Permit

The City restricts weights on some roads during the spring thaw, usually between March 1 and April 30. This protects the road from unnecessary deterioration while the frost is coming out of the ground.

If you are planning a project within the City's road allowance, you will require a Road Permit.

For further information regarding Excess Load or Road Occupancy permits, contact the Transportation Services, Parks and Forestry Operations.
