Colorado State Highway 82:
"The narrow roadway, switchbacks, steep 6% grades and steep, sometimes unguarded dropoffs on either approach to the pass have also led CDOT to impose 10 mph (16 km/h) speed limits at the turns. Some types of vehicles are banned from the pass year-round. Oversized and overweight vehicles are prohibited, as well as any vehicle or vehicle combinations longer than 35 feet (11 m). As a practical matter this excludes tractor trailers, buses and recreational vehicles. "

I have a picture of that sign, and can email it to anyone who wants to post it. Believe me NOBODY could miss that sign, at least nobody that should be operating a vehicle.

After getting my RM atlas I was surprised at some of the roads that are OK for big rigs, but Im impressed how big trucks get around city streets.

Local knowledge helps, but sometimes the atlas is just wrong and if you dont know the area you cant plan it. Local signage always trumps atlas or GPS and a responsible driver turns around and fines another way even if it is 100 miles. It sucks, but you remember that for next time.
