Being a by-law to designate reduced load periods on Township highways.

Whereas the Municipal Act, 2001, c. 25, s. 5 (1) provides that the powers of a municipal corporation are to be exercised by its council;

And whereas the Municipal Act, 2001, c. 25, s. 5 (3) provides that the powers of every council are to be exercised by by-law;

And whereas Section 122 (7) of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990 as amended, provides that the municipal corporation or other authority having jurisdiction over a highway, designate the date on which a reduced load period shall start or end, and the highway or portion thereof under its jurisdiction to which the designation applies.

General

That the Director of Public Works or designate, be authorized to start and end reduced load periods for all Township highways.
That the effective start of the reduced load period commences, and be enforced, once “Official Signs” have been posted or erected in compliance with the Highway Traffic Act or any Regulations thereto upon the appropriate highway.
That Schedule “A” attached hereto and forming part of this by-law be adopted as the permit to move loads in excess of the weight, as prescribed, on Township highways.
That By-law No. 19-1999 be hereby rescinded.
That any by-law inconsistent with this by-law is hereby repealed.

Read and passed in open Council, signed and sealed this 20th day of February, 2019.
