    Ok driver, I want you to reread your post and then think about this...

    Would it have been better to lose the 10 minutes it would have taken to check your route or does $750.00 represent an irrelevant loss of income to you?

    I'm not trying to bust your chops just using this as a teaching moment. Late and safe is better than on time and fined... or worse.

    For being on a restricted road or for being overweight and getting his permit pulled?

    Will an atlas show a street changing to 5000 pounds? I don’t think mine does. I’ve ran into this in places I’m familiar with. The better question is was it marked before he turned on the street?

    No it was not. It was normal and the street eventually changed at an intersection going straight was the way I went which got me fined. Left was also restricted and right was an extremely tight turn with almost no shoulder and I was more concerned with dropping the trailer in a ditch and weighed it out that I’d rather risk a cop...

    A8B9D95F-C4F8-4D85-BB89-01214BBE4522.png I actually am mistaken. I’m confusing a different road with this one idk how that happened...going right and going straight was restricted. I was going south on Monroe and turned into dralle. I couldn’t sit here and reverse back all the way up Monroe and no room to turn around...

    No permit on a weight restricted road.
    Wasn't over gross or axle.
    I remember another driver posting one for over$13k.

    Add in a bridge on that road and you could be super screwed.
