Tasmanian Load Limited Bridges and Roads

There are roads and bridges on the Tasmanian road network which have a load limit applied by the Road Manager. This can be for many reasons; the road pavement has been damaged, or stress has occurred on a bridge which requires a limit to be placed on it. \r\n\r\nA load limit sign specifies the permitted load limit, the permitted axle load limit or the maximum dimensions of a vehicle or combination. A vehicle or combination may not pass the load limit sign if the mass or dimension is greater than stipulated on the sign. \r\n\r\nThere are provisions in the Vehicle and Traffic (Vehicle Operations) Regulations 2014 which allow the Transport Commission to issue a permit enabling the vehicle or combination to bypass the load limit sign.

塔斯曼尼亚道路网络内的部分道路与桥梁，已由道路管理者（Road Manager）设定荷载限制。此类限制的设立缘由多样，例如道路路面受损，或是桥梁出现应力问题，均需设置荷载限制。

荷载限制标志会载明允许的总荷载限值、轴荷限值，或车辆及车辆组合的最大尺寸。若车辆或车辆组合的总质量或尺寸超出标志载明的限值，则不得通过该荷载限制标志。

《2014年车辆与交通（车辆运营）条例》（Vehicle and Traffic (Vehicle Operations) Regulations 2014）中设有相关条款，允许塔斯马尼亚交通委员会核发许可，使车辆或车辆组合得以绕过荷载限制标志通行。
