All roads in the Sandpoint and Clark Fork areas were posted with weight limits Monday morning.

As a reminder, a red flag or no flag on the sign indicates weight limits are in effect. A green flag indicates weight restrictions are imminent.

• District 1 (south of the Long Bridge) — All roads are posted with weight limits.

Birch Banks Road, Hanford Drive, Comeback Bay Lane and E. Comeback Bay Lane are posted no hauling, with the road open to regular residential traffic only. No trailers or loaded truck beds are allowed on the roads at this time.
