#OxfordOPP wants to remind everyone in @OxfordCounty that March 1-April 30, 2025 is Reduced Load Season on some of our roadways. These roads are marked with signage, and it is important to abide by this law. Heavy loads during the spring thaw can result in damage to the roads which can increase the risk of collisions. You can expect to see an increase in police presence on these roads as we will be patrolling these roads for enforcement and education. #DriveSafe#DriveSmart@ONtransport ^rc
