Note: Changes to the Highway Traffic Act and its associated regulations have resulted in improved uniformity in weight and dimension regulations for vehicles operating between provinces and within the Province of Manitoba. More stable types of vehicles such as C-Trains, Pony Trailers and truck and full trailer combinations will be allowed to haul increased weights on designated highways known as RTAC routes.
As well, additional full time RTAC routes and seasonal (December 1 to February 28) RTAC routes have been approved. Certain B1 highways will be allowed higher seasonal loading capacities.
