A commercial vehicle carrying an oversized dozer was stopped by Richmond RCMP officers on Garden City Road after being found operating without the required oversized vehicle permit, resulting in charges under provincial transportation legislation.
Hermes conducted a traffic stop of a commercial vehicle transporting an oversized dozer along Garden City Road.
Under the Commercial Transport Act, the maximum allowable vehicle width is 2.6 metres.
Vehicles exceeding this limit are required to obtain an Oversized Vehicle Permit, which outlines specific safety requirements, including approved travel routes and, where necessary, the use of pilot vehicles.
The RCMP remind commercial vehicle operators that oversized load permits play a critical role in ensuring road safety for all users by regulating the movement of large or unusual loads and establishing appropriate safety measures before travel begins.
