§ 102-35. Certain trucks restricted to truck routes.

(a)

All motor vehicles having a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or vehicle combinations with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) in excess of 36,000 pounds, except vehicles designed to carry passengers, are prohibited from using any street within the unincorporated county except those authorized as truck routes by section 102-39. GVWR is the total weight a vehicle is rated to carry by the manufacturer, including its own weight and the weight of its load. GCWR is determined by adding the GVWR of the motor vehicle and the GVWR of any towed unit(s). In the absence of a manufacturer assigned GVWR for a towed unit(s), the GVWR shall be the actual weight of the towed unit including any load carried thereon.

(b)

Restricted vehicles must stay on designated truck routes unless a destination necessary for business, such as a pickup or delivery point, garage, or terminal is accessible only via a non-designated truck route. Ingress and egress to and from such points shall be made by most direct route available from nearest designated truck route.
