A Tool for Road Management
Under the authority granted under By-Law 1869 the County Vehicle Weight Committee periodically defines allowable weight limits on specific roads, to protect our roads during the spring thaw. Road Ban signs are posted to notify the public of the percentage of axle weight allowed on that road.
The County has contracted Roadata Services Ltd. to provide the public with Road Ban Information that is available by calling1-888-830-7623. An agreement has been made with the Kitscoty RCMP Detachment to police the County Road Bans.
As operators, you must make yourself aware of the load limits associated with the roads you drive. We remind you that a discretionary road ban exists all year round, even though it may not be posted, and that this is even more crucial during spring.
We realize that some of our roads will deteriorate quicker than others due to many factors including high traffic flow, heavy loads, weather conditions, etc. As the cost of road repairs is a principal concern to all ratepayers in our municipality, we ask that you assist us in minimizing the amount of damage during spring thaw.
We wish to extend our thanks to you for the responsible use of our roads. Contact Person: Randy Belliveau, Public Works Superintendent Cell Number (780) 205-0402.
Understanding how Range & Township Roads are Numbered
-
Township Roads: Township roads run east to west at 2 mile intervals, counting from the south to north.Starting from the bottom of the township, take the township number (ex TWP 50) add 0, the next road north add a "2" at the end--502, and the next road north add a "4" at the end--504, the next road will be the beginning of the next township, TWP 51, so the next road is 510.
- Range Roads: Range roads run north to south at 1 mile intervals, counting from the east to west. Starting from the east, take the range number (ex R1) and add a "0" to the end--RR10, going east add "1" for each mile and/or range road going east, when you reach the range + 5, the next road will be the start of the next range 20.
