What are the restrictions when transporting hay?
Movement of hay on a public road, the truck/wagon is a commercial vehicle and is regulated as such. If hay load stays under 2.6 m (8 6 ) wide and a height of less than 4.15 m (13 7 ), then no permits are required and there are no extra restrictions. Square bales up to a width of 3.05 m (10 ) and round bales up to a width of 3.5m (11 6 ) can be hauled with a permit during daylight hours but not on Sunday or statutory holidays. The Weed Control Act of B.C. disallows the movement of any hay that is likely to contain noxious weed seeds.
