Overweight and Over-Dimensional Vehicles
Through the monitoring of weights, by both fixed and portable scales, Lacombe County Enforcement ensures compliance with both provincial and municipal weight regulations. An overweight or over-dimensional vehicle without the proper permits or approvals could result in a hefty fine or even jail time. It is important to know the weights and legal weight allowances.
