Weight Limits Posted In Town

[Retired63]

My town has posted signs on almost every street that say 5 ton weight limit. Even my road now has a 5 ton limit sign. Yet school buses, garbage trucks and more drive on them every day. Anyone experience this before? It's not a bridge weight safety issue it's trying to keep commercial trucks out I guess or something. It just seems ignorant to me be they are everywhere now.

Could be that they don't want a bunch of us Newell owners visiting you and lowering your neighbors property values.lol!

Don't worry about it, Motorhomes are exempt from commercial truck limits on residential streets.

Is 5 ton axle limit or gross weight we have it on some bridges here per axle

My city put up a 25,000lb weight limit on the street at the entrance to my development for about 6 months then it was replaced with one of those "No Trucks" signs.

Most signs referring to such weight limits are geared towards semi trucks.

I always wonder when I cross a bridge with 30,000 weight limit with my Newell how good was the state employee that set that bridge weight limit.
