Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Maine
- Seasonal conditions
MaineDOT can post state and state-aid highways with seasonal weight and speed restrictions for the periods it determines, as can counties and municipalities on their own roads, with notices posted at each end of the affected road.
Maine overlimit moves must wait until conditions improve when conditions on the permitted route are considered difficult, and movement in poor visibility or unsafe conditions such as rain, snow or ice is not allowed.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
