Why are allot of farms on 10 ton roads?

Around my home area a lot of roads have load limits posted on them during the winter because of frost heaves... And most all of them are in agricultural areas. Everyone still loads to max... Just don't go over the reduced speed limit, which is often 35 mph.

 

To keep me from using it as a shortcut.

 

Most jurisdictions have some kind of accommodation for such things.
But some are very strict about it.
Here in Saskatchewan there are no such direct exemptions. However the local authority can issue a permit which I must carry for that one specific farm.

 

Most roads and bridges in farm country are just rocked or paved over fence boarder roads from the days when farms and homesteads were plotted. No engineering of the road bed or bridges at all; They were just wagon paths that got paved over.

They put weight restriction signs on them because no one wants to take responsibility when one of these roads or bridges caves in. The county the state needs someone to blame when a road or bridge caves in since no one wants to spend money on a rual road. .

 

Entitlement. Truck drivers are a close second.

 

Be careful of those light roads. If you fall through. Nothing stopping you before the fire and brimstone of the center of the earth.

 

So they don't look like a RAPper.
Ya know? That would be a good one. Farmer RAP. Get the cows, pigs, and chickens into the beat.

 

Wrong!
It’s from looking in the mailbox for a Government handout.

 

Not quite, but close:
