Thaw Zone Road Weight Restrictions in Québec

2026 data from the Government of Québec delimits thaw zones (1-2-3) for weight limitations on the road network. The dataset provides official dates, load restrictions, and dividing line descriptions for seasonal road use.

Use Cases

• Map thaw zone boundaries (zone 1-2-3) to enforce seasonal weight restrictions on the road network.
• Analyze dividing line descriptions between zones to plan transportation logistics during thaw periods.
• Integrate official dates and load restriction rules into road maintenance and permitting systems.

Strengths

• Data is directly sourced from the authoritative Government and Municipalities of Québec.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and GPKG for interoperability.
