MI Seasonal Weight Restriction 1.1.0

The County Road Association of Michigan's County Road Seasonal Weight Restrictions Mobile app delivers convenient access to seasonal weight restriction information for users on the go.

An essential aspect of engaging with a county road agency typically involves navigating seasonal weight restrictions, commonly referred to as "frost laws." Despite the appearance of roads being durable with concrete and asphalt construction, they are susceptible to damage in late winter as frost thaws from the ground.

In response to this vulnerability, county road commissions and departments across Michigan implement reduced weight loads, typically from March extending into May, subject to various factors such as weather conditions, soil composition, and regional attributes.

The Mich. County Road Seasonal Weight Restrictions app offers users:

• A map showcasing county road agencies that have enforced weight restrictions
• A compilation of restricted roads categorized by county
• An online permit issuance feature
• An option to register for email alerts by county, ensuring timely updates on when seasonal weight restrictions are implemented and lifted

Developed in collaboration with the Michigan Transportation and Infrastructure Association (MITA) and the Great Lakes Timber Producers Association (GLTPA), this application serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking comprehensive seasonal weight restriction data.
