    Parts of south Dakota used to have "no thro trucks" sign posted on some county roads. No weight limits posted. What the heck qualifies as a through truck?

    I’m thinking one might mean no THRU trucks, while the other gives the weight limits IF you have a delivery or pickup on that street.

    could be for local deliveries only, and no driving thru the area on that road.

    would just be better to post a sign, "local deliveries only" then the weight limits next to it.

    That would be a lot less confusing.

    I know. I don't feel guilty or ashamed, though.

    But how many furlongs, fortnights, or fathoms are in a metric “tonne”? :biggrin_25523:
