§ 45-272. Weight limits on specific streets.

(a)

When signs are erected giving notice thereof, no person shall operate any vehicle with a gross weight in excess of the amounts specified on such signs at any time upon any of the streets or parts of streets so signed. Under this section, as vehicle weight is indicated by the number of axles supporting such vehicles, signs limiting the number of axles on through vehicles shall be official.

(b)

When signs are erected stating "No Through Trucks," no person shall operate any commercial vehicle exceeding 3,000 pounds gross weight at any time upon any of the streets or parts of streets so signed, except that such vehicles may be operated thereon for the purpose of delivering or picking up materials or merchandise or for vehicle storage and then only by entering such street at the intersection nearest the destination of the vehicle and proceeding thereon no farther than the nearest intersection thereafter.
