Hamilton Truck Route Network Compliance

Hamilton has launched an online Truck Route Network violation reporting tool

The City of Hamilton and Hamilton Police Service have launched a new Truck Violation Reporting Tool, designed to empower Hamilton residents to play an active role in ensuring safer and more compliant use of Hamilton's transportation network.

This tool allows residents to report any truck route violation they observe in their community. By submitting location-specific feedback, residents can help the City and Hamilton Police Service monitor, efficiently allocate resources and address non-compliance issues. 

Report trucks violating the City’s By-law through the Hamilton Police Service non-emergency line at 905-546-4925 or use the Truck Violation Reporting Tool.

In Waterdown, the Hamilton Truck Route Network includes all of Dundas St. and Parkside Dr., as well as Avonsyde Blvd and Clappison Ave. Further, trucks are permitted on Hamilton St. specifically between the hours of 7am and 7pm. Into Carlisle and Mountsburg, trucks are permitted along Centre Rd. all the way to Campbellville Rd., as well as on Campbellville Rd between Highway 6 and Centre Rd. Finally, trucks may use Concession 6 East between Centre Rd. and Highway 6 and all of Carlisle Rd., specifically between the hours of 7am and 7pm.

It should be noted, that in addition to the specific truck routes noted through on-street signage, and the network map presented above, there are some minor variances allowed. For example, trucks may exit off of the permissive route to access their destination using the shortest distance from the truck route possible from non-designated City roadways. Further, in the rural areas of Flamborough, registered farm vehicles are permitted to use non-designated City roadways.

The enforcement of Hamilton’s Truck Route is through the Hamilton Police Service. Failure to adhere to Truck Route network and heavy truck restrictions may result in fines under the Highway Traffic Act and Municipal Traffic By-law.
