NOTICE
RE: Government announces amendments to the Vehicle Weights and Dimensions on Classes of Highway
Regulation (MR 575/88)
The Manitoba Government has amended the Vehicle Weights and Dimensions on Classes of Highway
Regulation (MR 575/88). This regulation sets out the permissible weights and dimensions for commercial
motor vehicles travelling on Manitoba roads. These amendments, which are effective June 23, 2014, are
intended to:
Increase productively for Manitoba’s motor carrier industry by accommodating newer vehicle
configurations;
Reduce barriers and Increase regional competiveness through the harmonization of regulations with
neighbouring jurisdictions;
Encourage the use of fuel efficient devices and tires by increasing the permissible weights and dimensions
for vehicles adopting these measures;
Meet Manitoba’s obligations set out in various MOUs and agreements with other jurisdictions;
Address road safety issues by prohibiting vehicle configurations that are deemed to be unsafe.

SC&RA Oversize/Overweight Permit Manual
Highlights
• Aerodynamic Devices and Wildlife Bumpers: These devices are intended to make vehicles more fuel
efficient and safer. An allowance in the overall length of a vehicle of up to 0.61 m to accommodate an
aerodynamic device mounted at the rear of the vehicle and up to 0.3 m for wildlife bumpers increases the
overall length permitted for a motor carrier. This additional length should encourage the use of these
devices.
• Wide-base Single Tires and Track Width: These new generation tires increase the fuel efficiency of a
commercial motor vehicle. Several new provisions to increase the maximum permissible weights for vehicles
equipped with wide-base single tires, and to reduce the track width required when a carrier wants to retrofit
existing trailers, are included in the amended regulation. These provisions will make it easier for carriers to
use these types of tires by reducing or eliminating barriers that may have discouraged their use in the past.
• B-Train Length: In response to requests from the motor carrier industry, the permissible length for a BTrain configuration is increasing to 26 m from 25 m. When combined with the allowance for aerodynamic
devices and wildlife bumpers, the overall maximum permissible length for this type of vehicle will be up to
26.9 m. This measure will increase productivity while reducing green house gas emissions. It will also bring
Manitoba requirements into harmony with those of Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.
• Maximum Permissible Weight on a Truck Tractor Steering Axle: An increase in the maximum allowable
weight by 500 kg to 6,000 kg for a steering axle on truck tractors with single or tandem drives
accommodates the added weight for exhaust emission control technologies, wildlife protection, and other
equipment routinely being added to truck tractors.
• Tridem Drive: Repeal of the prohibition of tridem drives is included in the amended regulation. In
recognition that tridem drive vehicles are commonplace on Manitoba’s highways, the prohibition on tridem
drives is repealed and permits are no longer required to authorize carriers to use vehicles with tridem
drives. In order to ensure that these types of vehicles continue to be safe there is a provision to increase the
maximum permissible weight on the steering axle from 5,500 kg to 7,300 kg, which allows carriers to
maintain a safe differential between the steering and drive axles. These provisions also serve to make
Manitoba carriers more competitive since it harmonizes our regulations with those in neighbouring Canadian
jurisdictions, and in particular, Saskatchewan.
• Tandem Steering Axles: The amendments include a provision to authorize the use of tandem steering
axles on trucks. A corresponding increase in the maximum permissible axle weight is also included. These
provisions will harmonize Manitoba’s regulation with Saskatchewan’s regulatory provisions.
• Tandem Steering Truck Tractors Prohibited: This provision prohibits the use of this vehicle configuration
for general use. Permits will continue to be issued to carriers for the purpose of heavy haul operations, such
as those in the oil fields.
• Tandem Steering Axle and Single Drive Axle Combinations Prohibited: This vehicle configuration is
unstable and can cause substantial damage to infrastructure. To ensure the safety of all users of Manitoba’s
roads, this vehicle type is prohibited.
• Classes of Highways: Amendments to Schedule B serve to re-classify many of Manitoba’s roads to RTAC
loading or seasonal RTAC loading, in recognition that certain existing highways can sustain traffic at RTAC
weights without significant negative impacts to the infrastructure. It also establishes CenterPort Canada Way
and a portion of PR 221 as “super” RTAC routes with a loading capacity of 63,500 kg. Other changes, under
Schedule C, establish certain highways as A1 or seasonal A1 highways. The re-classification of all of these
highways will eliminate the need for carriers to obtain permits to travel with loads up to the maximum
permissible RTAC or A1 vehicle weights, as set out under Schedule H. This will allow the motor carrier
industry to realize gains in both efficiency and productivity.
• Motor Home Length: The current permissible length for motor homes is 12.5 m. Increasing the permissible
length to 14 m will accommodate newer motor homes travelling on Manitoba roads, bringing Manitoba’s
provisions in harmony with other Canadian jurisdictions.

PERMIT RESTRICTIONS
General – A permit is required when height of a vehicle or load exceeds 4.15 m. The issuance of any permit
remains subject to the discretion of the traffic authority.
Typically, permits may be issued for non-divisible loads only, meaning that there cannot be two or more
pieces of equipment stacked on top of the other to exceed 4.15 m in height.
If the overall height exceeds 4.6 m, the permit must be approved by Manitoba Telecom Services. The
applicant is responsible to obtain this approval, and have it forwarded to Permit Services.
If the overall height exceeds 4.8 m, the permit must be approved by Manitoba Hydro. The applicant is
responsible to obtain this approval, and have it forwarded to Permit Services.
Maximum vehicle lengths are specified in Part V of the Vehicle Weights and Dimensions on Classes of
Highways Regulation (M.R.575/88). Typically, permits will be granted only when the length is non-divisible
in nature. The issuance of any permit is subject to the discretion of The Traffic Authority.
Typically, permits are not issued for overlength loads carried on a straight truck. Qualifying vehicles include
a truck tractor and semi-trailer, or a truck and trailer combination.
Escort vehicles are required to follow loads in excess of 30.0 m length.
When lengths exceed 30.0 m flagging may be required when exiting and entering onto or off of highways.
Two escort vehicles maybe required, based on prevailing conditions along the requested route.
A permit may be issued to allow exceeding the limitation of the RTAC effective rear overhang (subsection
16(2) of the Vehicle Weights and Dimensions on Classes of Highways Regulation (MR 575/88)). This permit
may be issued for the movement of commodities such as steel beams or other types of non-divisible
overlength loads.
An overwidth permit is required when the width of the vehicle or load (referred to as the “load” hereafter)
exceeds 2.60 meters. The issuance of any permits remains subject to the discretion of the Traffic Authority.
Typically, the load must be non-divisible, that is, two items are not allowed to be loaded side by side to
produce a width greater than 2.60 m.
When width exceeds 3.05 m, "D" signs or "Wide Load" signs are required on the front of the truck/truck
tractor and at the rear of the load or trailer, which ever is greater. When the width exceeds 4.60 m., the
permittee must provide escort vehicles.
It is desirable for the permittee to have the permit in their possession where the load exceeds 4.6m wide
because of the complexity of conditions associated with wider moves. Where this is not practical or
convenient, the permittee may proceed under the authority of the permit number providing all conditions
are clearly understood. If width exceeds 6.0 m, the load must be moved on beams and dollies or an
approved alternative method.
The request for a permit of 9.0 m in width or greater must be made at least two business days prior to the
move date, to allow sufficient time to analyze all aspects of the move. A Transportation and Government
Services representative may be required to accompany the move, and if the width is such that highway
signs must be moved, a Departmental crew must also accompany the vehicle to remove and install the
signs, at the mover's expense.
Insurance — Required for vehicle and load, but does not need to be on file with the provincial office.
Weekend/Night Travel —
Night travel may be allowed up to 4.45 m wide and 30 m long. Typically, a load in excess of 3.7 m wide
requires escort vehicles both front and rear.
An exemption to the night travel policy involves house trailers and grain bins. They can travel up to 5.0 m
wide on four lane divided highways only, with one escort vehicle to follow the load.

SC&RA Oversize/Overweight Permit Manual
There are no travel restrictions placed on permits that are solely for overheight loads. This means that
assuming all necessary approvals are in place, weekend, statutory holiday and nighttime travel are all
allowed.
Loads in excess of 25 m with a rear overhang on truck-tractor semi-trailer combinations are subject to
daylight travel only, with no travel allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Additional seasonal conditions
may be applicable, as outlined in Appendix A: Travel Restrictions.
If the length exceeds 30.0 m, night travel is not permitted.
Overwidth permits may be valid for night travel subject to the following conditions:
the width must not exceed 4.45 m, and
escort vehicles are required front and rear for loads greater than 3.70 m wide.
Widths exceeding 4.6 m are not normally allowed on the highways during Spring Road Restrictions, due to
the fact that they can damage vulnerable shoulders.
Widths in excess of 4.6 m are not valid before 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on PTH's
100 and 101. They are also not valid on any commuter routes or truck routes in or out of the City of
Winnipeg during these time periods unless specifically approved.
