Tasmanian Load Limited Bridges and Roads

Brief description

There are roads and bridges on the Tasmanian road network which have a load limit applied by the Road Manager. This can be for many reasons; the road pavement has been damaged, or stress has occurred on a bridge which requires a limit to be placed on it.

A load limit sign specifies the permitted load limit, the permitted axle load limit or the maximum dimensions of a vehicle or combination. A vehicle or combination may not pass the load limit sign if the mass or dimension is greater than stipulated on the sign.

There are provisions in the Vehicle and Traffic (Vehicle Operations) Regulations 2014 which allow the Transport Commission to issue a permit enabling the vehicle or combination to bypass the load limit sign.
