What we do with it
Watched for change and linked. We do not synthesise a limit from a map or a PDF.
Posting season
02-15 to 05-31 — MaineDOT publishes the posted-road list for the spring thaw and lifts it as roads recover; the observed season runs from late February postings to a May lift.
Polling cadence today
Outside Maine's posting window by 93 days — polled weekly, so an unscheduled restriction and a broken source are both found before the season opens.
If our copy goes stale
It errs toward showing a restriction the state has already lifted, because this source publishes only what is currently in force.
About this data

Maine calls these posted roads rather than frost laws. The list covers state and state-aid highways and is republished as roads are added and released.
