Vehicle Size and Weight Program

The Vehicle Size and Weight Program regulates the maximum size and weight of commercial vehicles to ensure safety and infrastructure preservation. It sets standards for trucks and buses to prevent damage to roads and bridges while maintaining efficiency in freight transportation. The program involves permits, inspections, and compliance checks, helping authorities monitor large vehicles’ dimensions and weights. This balance promotes safe travel, reduces road wear, and supports economic activity by allowing necessary cargo to be transported efficiently within safe limits.
