So, as an o/o I've been bringing my truck home for the last 5 years as have several of my neighbors who are also drivers. We live in a rural subdivision, we all have 5 acres so this isn't tract housing. Neighborhood is nearly 40 years old, but this last week, the county slapped up weight restrictions onto every road leading to our houses. These are dirt roads with no bridges so, what is it we're suddenly hurting? I'm calling them tomorrow to see what's up. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
County just weight restricted my road

Should have gone to your town/township meetings.
I'm sure it was posted on some agenda somewhere.
Usually all ordinance changes are debated first.
Probably one or more of your neighbors don't like those trucks parked in the neighborhood.
I have read about the same in these forums.

Welcome to YuppieVille Country.
Their invading every rural country area and turning them into Deed restricted neighborhoods.
I have been back from Florida in Michigan the last 2 years staying with friends in the same rural area I grew up farming in 35 years ago.
It's still rural. It still has most of the undeveloped land and old farms.
First trucking job I was offered up here wanted me to take the truck home on my home time.
Looked for an area within 10 miles to park it.
Spent a whole day searching, calling, getting out talking with people.

This is a convenant controlled subdivision, but I made ###### sure to comb through the covenants before I got my authority to ensure there were no rules regarding commercial vehicles. The roads leading here that go to other subdivisions ARE NOT restricted. I can get within 1/4 mile of my house before I hit one of the signs well off the main road. It's obviously someone in this subdivision specifically who got this done.
