No Trucks Allowed roads

Keep going till you find away out or off the no truck roads. Hope their is no bridges to worry about. Hope the police don't see you.

 

If you're in a residential neighborhood, probably best to keep going until you find a 4 way intersection wide enough for you to turn left or right onto. Make the turn, then back up straight through the intersection, and turn back the way you came. I've had to do it once in my driving career.

If things continue to get worse, you have no choice but to back all the way out. Whatever you do, don't attempt a U-turn in a tight spot. If all all else fails, call the local cops for an escort out. Yes you'll get a ticket, but you won't destroy anything trying to do it yourself.

 

I disagree.

If you were able to get on that road going forward, then you will be able to get off of it going backwards. You simply got lucky. Driving deeper into that situation doesn't always work out that well. Imagine getting several blocks and turns into that residential neighborhood only to find no more room to maneuver that truck any further. Now what? The best move in that situation is to pull over, turn on your 4 ways, pull up the satellite view on google maps and figure out your options. May be necessary to contact law enforcement to stop traffic on the main road you turned off of to allow you to back out.

 

Generally, if you call the police before you knock something over, they will help you or maybe just tell you how to get out of that jam. Call the non-emergency number, sometimes called "dispatch". The map the police dispatcher has is guaranteed accurate.

 

Glad it worked out for you.

 

Can you imagine tow trucks and cranes trying to extricate a tractor trailer rig from a residential neighborhood? Makes cops blocking traffic on a main road sound like a pretty simple option!

 

I keep driving. I delivered to beltsville MD a few weeks ago, and the road I turned onto had a 29 ton bridge, with the sign posted literally 2000 ft before the bridge and nothing before that. Oh and no place to turn around. The sign looked fairly new. I crossed it, I'm not binding up a spread axle trailer in the middle of a busy street because some municipality can't post signs correctly.

I will give you a tip (if you already do this then good) but compare your GPS route to an up to date truck atlas. It's saved me a lot of aggravation a few times and only takes a few minutes
