SPRING THAW PERIOD
Load restriction period of heavy vehicles :
In 1958, Mr. GERALD CHEVRIER, 5th generation landowner, founded his sand quarrying company on the grounds of the family farm on rang St-François in the small municipality of St-Lazare.
From the very start he began, through the acquisition of motorized equipment, to transform the largely unmechanized quarrying techniques of his father into a much more efficient operation. In spite of the richness of the sand layer, these efforts were required to ensure the survival of the business as large construction projects were rare and there were several other sand pits operating in the region.
Over the years, modernization of the operation has continued. But while the quarrying techniques have changed, the determination to provide quality service and products, while respecting environmental considerations, has remained the same.
The year 2018 marks the 60th anniversary of SABLIÈRES CHEVRIER. The family (Solange, Sylvie, Gilbert, Christian and Stephane) invites you to watch the souvenir videos :

We would like to emphasize the importance of road signs. Road signs are an essential tool for communicating with road users. They are designed and installed in a way that helps drivers during their entire trip. In addition to serving as a guide by indicating the roads to take and any dangers along the way, they remind drivers of the numerous rules stipulated in the Highway Safety Code and municipal by-laws.
The first traffic signs involving the use of symbols were introduced in Québec in the 1920’s. The use of such symbols in road signs became widely recognized towards the end of the 1940’s. A universal road sign language, known and recognized by all, contributed significantly to improving road safety. An idea born in Québec!
The symbols and colours used on signs are for the most part standardized. The province of Québec has its own set of norms but these take international conventions into account. Green means mandatory; red means prohibitory, yellow is associated with danger and orange indicates road works.
Users of our access roads, as well as our own drivers, are governed by the same set of rules. In addition, a code of mutual respect is also in effect:
– The use of motor brakes is prohibited.
– Speed must always be regulated.
– The obligation to use roads designated for delivery must be respected.
– Noise must be kept to a minimum.
Your only protection against road hazards are your tires. Thus, during the hard winter season, it is necessary to be fitted with good winter tires.
