Road Weight Restrictions


Weight restrictions are implemented each year from March to May in an effort to preserve and protect Maplewood’s road system during the thawing and refreezing associated with spring.

The maximum duration for these spring weight restrictions will not exceed eight weeks unless extraordinary conditions exist that require additional time or route specific signage is posted.

Limits


All roads with concrete curb and gutter are limited to 9 tons per axle, all other roads have a 5 ton per axle weight limit, unless posted otherwise.

Listed below are postings for specific streets in the City of Maplewood that do NOT follow the general rule. (If a street is not listed below it will follow the general rule listed above.)
