The M.D. of Bonnyville’s road bans became active today at 1:00 pm.
The ban applies to all M.D. gravel and oiled/cold-mix surface roads to help protect the integrity of highways during the spring thaw.
The M.D. Council also passed Bylaw No. 1840 which establishes rules, regulations, and fines for commercial vehicle weight restrictions on M.D. roads and the process for acquiring a Road Use Agreement.
In the past, agricultural vehicles were exempt but not with the new bylaw. Farm Equipment that does not require a license plate to use public roadways remains exempt.
