Seasonal weight restrictions on county roads begin soon
The Spokane County Public Works Department announced Jan. 26 that seasonal weight restrictions could begin soon on county roads and continue until further notice.
Roadway surfaces and the structures beneath the surface have become weakened during this winter's cycle of freezing temperatures, followed by warmer temperatures and precipitation, making roads vulnerable to severe damage. Weight restrictions reduce the need for increased road maintenance and vehicle repairs later in the year.
Roads posted in Spokane County can either be a seasonal restriction or an emergency restriction. The vehicle speed is reduced on emergency restricted roads and vehicle speed on seasonal restricted roads is at the discretion of the county engineer. Seasonal road restrictions usually go into effect in late February or early March and last for approximately six weeks.
Impacted roads in Spokane County are posted with signs indicating maximum allowable weights. Typically, these restrictions do not apply to the average car or pickup truck, however, commercial and construction vehicles may need to lighten their loads in order to comply with the restrictions.
Spokane County commercial vehicle enforcement officers will be on patrol and violators will be fined. For more information, contact the Spokane County Public Works Department at (509) 477-3600, or go to the county website at http://www.spokanecounty.org/publicworks.
