In Regina, Saskatchewan, freight delivery exemptions let businesses and carriers temporarily ignore specific local restrictions to complete essential deliveries. This checklist explains who can apply, what documentation is needed, where to submit requests, and how enforcement and appeals work in Regina.

Who needs this permit

Use this permit if your freight vehicle cannot comply with a City of Regina traffic or parking restriction for a time-limited delivery, or if you need temporary access related to loading or unloading that would otherwise breach a local bylaw.

Before you apply

  • Confirm the delivery date and precise address.
  • Gather vehicle registration and carrier information.
  • Plan alternate routing or traffic control if required.

The City of Regina enforces local traffic, parking and right-of-way bylaws through Bylaw Enforcement and associated departments.
