PUBLIC NOTICE:
Otsego County Seasonal Weight Restrictions will be in Force 7:00 AM, Monday, March 3rd, 2025. Seasonal weight restrictions – sometimes called “frost laws” – are written into law to protect Michigan’s local roads from excess weight during periods when the roads are most vulnerable to damage. State law allows MDOT, counties and municipalities to reduce truck weights and speeds on roads that are not built to accommodate heavy truck traffic in such conditions.
During the weight restriction period, trucks traveling on posted/restricted roads must reduce speeds to 35 mph and carry lighter loads – a 25% reduction on concrete roads and 35 percent reduction on asphalt or gravel roads.
All roads in Otsego County fall under the seasonal weight restrictions except roads built to Class A standards. A map and list of exempt (non-weight restricted) roads in Otsego County can be viewed via this link:
