    this is the map of the route.

    My thought is Why has TN not put up signs on both ends saying that Commercial traffic is no longer permitted. All violators to be severely punished (ie ... heavy fines, put oos, truck towed etc).
    Ive never been on the route and dont care to either if I have to go in that area.

    I've driven it several times, had some close calls. The pics tell the tale. Bikers like to race the route and it's a dangerous combination- everyone needs to be moving slow and aware to be safe. There's no room for foolishness there.

    why has tn not put up signs...? maybe because at this time it's not illegal.. it maybe stuped to driver it in a big truck but it is not illegal

    and if you look at and READ the sign in the op it DOESN'T say it's illegal

    now if you try it on us441 and the bears see you they WILL tow the truck and you WILL go to jail... so said the sign outside of pigeon forge, tn.
