The County of Brant's By-law 182-05 restricts heavy truck traffic from travelling through the community of Paris, south of Silver Street and north of King Edward Street/Dundas Street East.   The By-law also prohibits heavy trucks from travelling on select roads within Burford including Alexander Street, Rutherford Street and West Andrew Street .

Why is it important to restrict heavy truck routes within the County of Brant?

  • Supports safe and timely movement of goods and services
  • Recognizes and tries to limit the impacts of truck traffic on the interests of the greater community such as safety, congestion, noise, and air quality
  • Protects the County's road infrastructure that cannot bear heavy loads or roads where truck traffic would be unsuitable (e.g. narrow lanes, weight restrictions on bridges). 
 What is a 'heavy truck'?
A 'heavy truck' is defined as a vehicle with more than two axles and six tires, including a bus but not including a school bus, as defined in the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario, or a vehicle with an unloaded vehicle weight, as shown on the vehicle portion of the vehicle permit (Veh Wt.) exceeding 5000 kilograms (5 tonnes), but does not include a vehicle making a delivery to or a collection from a bona fide destination which cannot be reached via a highway or highways upon which heavy vehicles are not prohibited, having taken the most direct route to such said destination.

 Enforcement?

Drivers found in contravention could face a fine of $110.00 and two (2) demerit points for the offense of Disobey sign Section 182(2) of the Highway Traffic Act. 

 

If you have concerns regarding heavy trucks travelling on streets where "No Heavy Truck" signs are posted, contact the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P) at 1.888.310.1122 .

For more information about heavy truck restrictions in  Paris, please view the truck routes on the 'Heavy Truck Restriction' pamphlet.
