Posted weight limits begin March 6
Seasonal weight limits for truck traffic on most city streets will be in effect in two weeks. Trucks with a gross weight in excess of 10 tons will be prohibited from all city streets, except for those designated as state highways, the city’s arterial routes, and routes to industrial parks. The weight limits will take effect at 6 a.m. on Friday, March 6. A map of posted city streets is on the city’s website. Trucks over 10 tons may still use roads with seasonal weight limits if they have a permit from the Department of Public Works. Permits are granted in two types of situations: blanket authorizations will be given to trucks providing city services such as trash collection, heating oil and propane trucks; one-time permits will be granted for deliveries and collections such as building supplies, construction equipment, household goods, furniture and car carrier trailers. More detailed information and permit forms may be found on the City of Laconia website at www.laconianh.gov. Those with questions can call the Laconia DPW Office at 603-528-6379.

The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and until 6 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. An additional $5 will be collected for each registration processed as compensation for the city clerk’s office acting as an authorized boat registration agent.
