Should Saskatchewan Update Truck Weight and Size Rules?
Official title: Vehicle Weight and Dimension Amendment Regulations Review
Saskatchewan wants to update its rules for how heavy and large commercial trucks can be on provincial highways. The focus is on expanding high-clearance corridors, introducing project permits, and updating which highways allow larger vehicles. Your feedback will help balance road safety with the needs of the trucking industry.
Why This Matters
Drive on Saskatchewan highways? These rules affect what trucks share the road with you. For trucking companies and drivers, this could mean fewer permit headaches and more routes for oversized loads. Rural communities may see changes to which roads allow heavy trucks.
What Could Change
The high-clearance corridor network could expand, letting taller trucks use more routes. New project permits would allow temporary oversize loads for specific jobs. Some highways may be added or removed from the designated list for heavy vehicles.
Key Issues
- Should the high-clearance corridor be expanded?
- Should project permits be introduced for temporary oversize loads?
- Which highways should be designated for larger vehicles?
