🚧 Mud Season & Road Posting in Weare 🚧
As spring approaches, mud season is right around the corner. As frost begins to come out of the ground, many of our gravel and secondary roads become soft and vulnerable to damage. To protect these roads, the Weare Highway Department will begin seasonal road postings on March 9, 2026.
During this period, certain roads will be posted with a 6-ton weight limit to help prevent significant damage while the ground is thawing.
These seasonal weight restrictions are authorized under New Hampshire RSA 231:191 and New Hampshire RSA 231:192, which allow towns to temporarily limit vehicle weights during the spring thaw.
During this time:
• Certain roads will be posted with a 6-ton weight limit
• Heavy trucks and loads may require a waiver or special permission from the Highway Department
• Vehicles exceeding posted limits may be subject to fines and liability for road damage
⚠️ Typical exemptions during road postings may include:
• Emergency vehicles (fire, police, ambulance)
• School buses
• Municipal and utility vehicles performing essential services
• Home heating fuel deliveries (oil, propane, pellets, etc.)
• Residential septic pumping
• Agricultural operations
• Solid waste and recycling collection
• Other deliveries or services approved through a road posting waiver
📄 For more information, including the list of posted roads and how to apply for a waiver, please visit the Town of Weare website.
Mud season restrictions help us protect our roads and reduce costly repairs for taxpayers. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation during the spring thaw.
If you have questions, please contact the Weare Highway Department.
Thank you for helping us take care of Weare’s roads! 🚜
