Under the
Highway Traffic Act, the province enforces reduced load restrictions on trucks to protect Ontario's highways during spring thaw, when road damage is most likely to occur. Streets exempted from these regulations are listed online at
saultstemarie.ca/bylaws under Traffic By-law 77-200 Schedule ‘M and N’ – Section 41.
