Citation in the City of Palmetto in Georgia non truck route, cost?

This is the road Navigo told me to take recently instead of staying on IA-136.

 

This is the road Navigo told me to take recently instead of staying on IA-136. I have my own Garmin GPS but I never trust either one of them.

 

If you got the ticket don't it say how much you owe ? Other wise how will you know how much to put down on the check you write? If the infringement is less than $100 I know it sucks however its still cheaper to just pay the fine it you are guilty of driving on non designated route. Rand Mc Nelly map books usually have all roads listed in each state that big rigs can't drive on. If you want to escalate it and take it to court best get the camera out and start taking pictures and hire a very good lawyer again its going to really cost you a few bucks. more than what the fine is worth, so the sheriff and the police know what their doing when they write these tickets out they've really got you over a barrel.

 

The few times I found myself on a no truck road it was because the stupid signage was placed where it would be seen only after I had made the turn and too late to turn back. We need those signs on perpendicular roads with an arrow pointing in the direction of the no truck route so we have time to abort mission. In daylight hours I can usually see it down the road, but at night I cannot.

When that happened, I'd hit my 4-ways pull off to the side of the road and check google satellite for a possible way of turning around. But in the end I always ended up just driving through... fortunately without incident so far.

If I got pulled over I would try to explain that to the officer. I noticed the sign only after it was too late to turn around.

 

The Big Boss Man!!! RIP.....he was a cop in Cobb County, GA. His theme song says so

 

My TRUCK GPS tries to send me down pig paths all the time.
Residential streets, etc.

It does this because it's NOT a no truck route, so it thinks it's OK.

Common sense must prevail.

The signage dilemma, as in this case in this thread... is B.S.

I see it all the time.
It should be on the street that you're turning OFF of. Not 300ft down the street that it's prohibited.

 

Next time your pulled over in Ga, or see someone get pulled....play it for the Bossman.
