Spring Road Bans Return on April 9

By Neil Billinger Apr 6, 2018 | 2:27 PM

The road bans will go into effect as of midnight on Monday across southern Saskatchewan, as well as the Saskatoon, Kindersley and North Battleford areas.

Road bans are expected to be implemented across the rest of the province on April 16.

Spring road bans restrict the amount of weight trucks can haul on many secondary highways. The difference between spring weights and normal secondary weights is about 10 to 15 per cent, depending on truck configuration.

The weight restrictions are implemented each spring to protect roads from truck damage.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
