Frost laws are seasonal restrictions on traffic weight limits and speeds on roadways subject to thaw weakening.. In climates that experience below-freezing temperatures, damage to roads from thaw-weakening have led to many US states, Canadian provinces [1] and other jurisdictions to enact laws that restrict vehicle loads during spring months, when road structures are thawing from above in a ...

Minnesota is a good site for such a project, as the state experiences some of the largest seasonal swings in temperature in the United States, and has a spring freeze–thaw cycle that can heavily damage roadways. More than 4,500 sensors are embedded in and under the road surfaces to measure stresses while the test segments are in use. [1]
