Posted roads versus non-posted roads


Not all roads are the same. If money was not an issue,
all roads would be built to carry the heaviest legal loads.
In Maine, many roads have been built to these modern
standards.
“Posted Roads” in Maine
During the winter and spring, some of Maine’s roads
weaken and they need to be protected. As
temperatures warm and the ground thaws, soil under
the pavement becomes saturated with water, making
the pavement unstable. As a result, many roads cannot
support heavy loads.

This means that a road carrying a 15-ton load in the


summer or winter may only be able to carry a 5-ton
load in the spring when it thaws. A posted state road’s
maximum weight limit is 23,000 pounds. The posting is However, there are also many miles of road that weren’t

Why we post State law permits posting roads


Asphalt roads are at their weakest when the ground In order to protect the state’s road infrastructure, the

surface are saturated with moisture. Travelling over roads. Title 29-A, Chapter 21, Subchapter 3 states that
roads that have a saturated base underneath can cause “the Department of Transportation may restrict the
cracking, potholes, and rutting. Heavy trucks can weight or passage of any vehicle over any way when, in
completely break through asphalt and severely damage its judgment, such passage would be unsafe or likely to
a road. cause excessive damage to the way or bridge.”
Municipalities and counties are also authorized to enact
Travel over posted roads rules on roads under their jurisdiction.
In some instances, you may travel over posted roads.
