Year Round Restrictions on Trucks Possible Newcastle Council is preparing preparing to pass a by-law which will enable the municipality municipality to place year-round load restrictions on truck traffic.

Director of Public Works Walter Evans explained that from time to time the Durham Durham Region will be passing half-load restrictions to keep heavy truck traffic off certain certain regional roads. Unless the Town of Newcastle Newcastle can pass similar bylaws, bylaws, such traffic would simply simply be diverted to municipal roads. The director said the need for the authority to pass full-year half-load bylaws bylaws arose as the result of heavy truck traffic on Regional Regional Road Three west of Enniskillen last year. If trucks continue to use that road in large numbers, the highway will be destroyed, destroyed, Mr. Evans said.
