Weight Restrictions
 | Each year the City of Orono ordains that the axle weight limits are
restricted on
certain streets in the City of Orono to protect these
streets from damage when road and weather conditions warrant.
|
| Most City streets will be posted and limited to FOUR TON AXLE per axle
weight limit. This is something to think about if you are planning
on moving or doing construction in the area. You would be forced to
use smaller trucks during the "spring thaw season". |
Dates
| Weight restrictions take effect during the "spring thaw season", which
is usually March 1st to May 15th, dependent upon the weather. Orono
follows the Seasonal Load Limits established by the State of Minnesota. Check the MN/Dot
website listed below: |
Exemptions
| No exemptions or permits are given during this time period,
except for
emergency vehicles and utility company service vehicles. For
detailed information on exemptions please review the
attached resolution. |
Streets Effected
| Orono only regulates the
streets listed on this resolution. All
County roads are regulated by Hennepin County and Highway 12 is regulated
by the State. Check the MN/Dot website listed
below. Private roads are not regulated by the City, but by the
homeowners associations, or persons in charge of that development.
The City does not maintain any information on contracts for private roads. |
