Caught On A "NO TRUCKS" Road?

What, you mean that no trucks sign shouldn't be halfway down the block behind a tree?

 

Well.....if you avoid those roads then you won't have to fight that ticket now will you?

 

Every single road I've went on that was restricted completely, or restricted to 58,280, isn't in the atlas as a restricted road. Other than just knowing the route, what do you do? Call the local PD and tell them your route and see if it's all kosher?

 

I was permitted on a F m road in Texas, my GPS said it was restricted. No sign, did a load a day, one day a sign with the weight limit apeared. Changed the route.

 

I think those are ok, but those roads that have the obvious no trucks sign, like going through neighborhoods or maybe certain downtown areas, are the ones i speak of. Louisiana and Mississippi will have those 58000 weight limit signs but they are ok usually. Some drivers are a little too reliant on their GPS, especially a 4 wheeler GPS, and it over simplifies routes. Then it gets truckers on ill advised routes. Many of those will have that restricted sign, like the parkways in NYC

 

I got a ticket from tree police, I cut through to avoid an road shutdown . I just kept my mouth shut and paid the ticket
