Importance of road bans Obtaining road permits
From time to time, traffic on
Lesser Slave River’s roads
must be restricted due to
construction, maintenance or
seasonal conditions such as
the spring thaw. Road Bans are
implemented for the purpose
of restricting the weight of
commercial vehicles and the
goods they carry on municipal
roadways. These restrictions
are designed to help reduce
wear and tear on some of
our main thoroughfares and
prolong the life span of MD
roads. Please note that Road
Ban Orders remain in effect
until further notice. In accordance with the Traffic
Safety Act, Road Permits are
required for all overweight and
over-dimensional loads. They
can be obtained online through
RoaData at RoaData.com or
by calling 1.888.444.9288.
Road Permits are not available
through the MD.
What are axle weights?
Axle weights are the weight
restrictions for vehicles that
lower the maximum legal
registered permitted weight
placed on a road. This protects
the infrastructure from
damage. In accordance with the
Traffic Safety Act, permits are
required for all overweight and
over-dimensional loads.
Get your Snowplow Flags
Each year, the MD provides
residents an opt-in service that
allows their driveways to be
cleared following a snowfall.
To participate in the program,
residents must complete and
submit the Liability Waiver. The
waiver is available for download
at mdlsr.ca/Snowplow-Flag.
Snowplow flags can be
purchased at both the Slave
Lake and Flatbush MD offices
for $42.50 each plus GST.
Seniors will be granted a 50 per
cent discount. Each snowplow
flag is good for one instance of
snow clearance.
Did you know that MD residents
receive a 25% discount when they
rent the Flatbush Complex?
