Calculating your vehicle weight for spring restriction period

The following information is provided to assist in calculating your allowable vehicle weights during spring restrictions. Vehicles exceeding 4500kg gross vehicle weight (GVW) are subject to loading restrictions during the spring weight restriction (SWR) period.

Overview

New Brunswick highways, which are open to traffic, are assigned a rating of 100%, 90% or 80% during spring. This rating refers to the required reduction in axle loads when operating on the highway. It applies to the individual axle loading of all axles, excepting the steer axle, on your vehicle(s). The reduction is not applied directly against the GVW of the vehicle or the regulated highway GVW.
