Its cold! Therefore, also permit season 😄
Wisconsin’s frozen road law takes effect on Sunday, Dec. 14 for the northern half of the state. WisDOT designates the regions as Zone 1 and Zone 2 which includes US 10 near Stevens Point along with numbered state and federal highways north of US 10.
The frozen road law allows vehicles hauling abrasives or salt for highway winter maintenance and certain forest products to carry more weight. The seasonal weight restriction program is one way to protect Wisconsin’s investments in roads.
A frozen road declaration will be made in other areas of the state when conditions warrant. Learn more: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wisdot/newsroom/news-rel/121225-frozenzone1-2.aspx
