Road Maintenance Agreements
The construction and maintenance of a municipal transportation system is one of the most costly items involved in a municipal budget. When an excessive amount of wear and tear is put on municipal roads, it can cause thousands of dollars in additional maintenance costs.
According to section 22 of The Municipalities Act, a municipal Council may require any person to enter into an agreement with the municipality to provide funds to cover additional maintenance of any municipal road within the municipality.
The RM of Moose Creek requires all haulers, hauling goods or commodities over any road in the municipality to enter into a haul road agreement with the RM. The municipality designates which roads are utilized for the continuous haul, and all haul road fees are submitted to the municipality when the haul is completed or prior to December 31 in each year.
Please contact the office at cao@rmofmoosecreek.com to obtain an agreement.
Overweight Permitting
Pursuant to The Highways and Transportation Act, the Minister of Highways and Infrastructure (Minister) has the overarching authority to issue overweight and over dimension permits for movement on all public highways, including all roads within a rural municipality.
In 2003, the Minister delegated authority to each RM to issue overweight permits for movement on roads within its respective jurisdiction; this was done by Minister's Order and set the maximum fee for both single trip and annual permits.
The Minister still retains the authority to issue overweight and over dimension permits for movement on all roads within an RM; these permits are issued by SGI.
The RM of Moose Creek has passed a bylaw for the operation of overweight vehicles on municipal roads which includes a permit fee.
The maximum weight a truck can be is dependent on:
-
highway classification
-
maximum registered gross vehicle weight for vehicles
-
tire size and axle spacing
The majority of roads within the RM of Moose Creek No. 33 are classified as secondary weight roads and as such all vehicles operating within the municipality are subject to the same weight limits as provincial secondary highways as set out in The Vehicle Weight and Dimensions Regulations, 2010, unless otherwise restricted by a duley executed road ban order. Council may approve an exemption to these weight limits and authorize the issuance of an Overweight Permit to allow qualified persons to operate a vehicle at weight no greater than the vehicle's Registered Gross Vehicle weight as determined by the motor vehicle registration as issued by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) or another applicable provincial/state government agency.
The Guide to Vehicle Weights can help you determine if you will need a permit to travel on municipal roads.
The weight classification map includes all weight classes in Saskatchewan including primary weight highways, 63,500 kg weight highways, 9 month primary weight highways, secondary weight. In addition, the map identifies bridge restrictions, restricted highways and the clearing the path corridor.
The axle load of a wheeled vehicle is the total weight felt by the roadway for all wheels connected to a given axle. Legal weights and dimensions are needed to balance the capacity and geometric capabilities of the infrastructure with maximum economic benefits while ensuring road safety.
