What is the legal limit for a single axle weight for commercial vehicles in BC?

The legal limit for a single axle weight for commercial vehicles in British Columbia is 9,100 kg (20,000 lbs). This weight limit is established to ensure safety on the roads, as exceeding it can lead to increased wear and tear on road infrastructure, a higher risk of accidents, and potential harm to the vehicle's handling and braking systems.

By adhering to this weight limit, drivers are better positioned to maintain vehicle control, particularly during turns and in adverse conditions. Understanding and complying with these weight regulations is essential for all commercial vehicle operators to promote the safe and efficient movement of goods on the province's highways.
