North Dakota Spring Thaw Weight Restrictions

NDDOT publishes every restricted segment as GeoJSON with the order number, its effective time and the ton limit. This is the one state where we hold segment-level detail.

Check NDDOT — North Dakota Load Restrictions before you dispatch.

What we do with it
Parsed into dated restriction rows.
Posting season
02-01 to 07-15 — NDDOT issues numbered load-restriction orders under NDCC 39-12-03. Observed 2026-09-04: order 2026-20, effective 2026-06-25, still carried segments with InEffect=Y — so the season demonstrably runs past midsummer and the window is set from the feed, not from folklore.
Polling cadence today
Outside North Dakota's posting window by 56 days — polled weekly, so an unscheduled restriction and a broken source are both found before the season opens.
If our copy goes stale
It errs toward showing a restriction the state has already lifted, because this source publishes only what is currently in force.
