Restricted hours of operation?

no! there's not. just rstricted routes. and low weight limits for city roads. you have to pay attention to the road signs in this country. the best thing to do is buy a motor carriers map and read the details in the front of the map. it will will help you stay out of trouble for the most part.

 

The motor carriers atlas states that there are operating restrictions on the Long Island Expressway during peak traffic hours but I don't know what they are exactly.

 

You will mostly run into those type of restrictions running heavy haul - over size/over weight.

 

or if your local construction in the neighborhood. or whatever operation that runs through neighborhoods. like garbage collectors.

in utah, no trucks between 10 p.m. - 7 a.m. in the hoods.

 

+1. There's a flatbed / heavy hauler that puts out youtube videos. I remember he had to get through Denver before a restriction started at a certain time. Also mentioned various states where you could only drive 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset when oversize.

 

As far as routes, we used to take 50 south of Monee to get to Manteno so we did not have to run through the town of Manteno. That route also happens to bypass the I57 scale.

There are no signs, it is not on the rand atlas, but a full sleeper truck and trailer is "over length" for a small stretch of road. Nice little trap for those trying to hide from the scale. I might imagine there could be similar type traps on the easiest bypass roads used.

There is also a place in Milwaukee, going to the Chrysler plant, that is one route 6am to 6pm and another route the other 12 hours.
