§ 20-62. Prohibition of truck traffic.

The board of county commissioners by resolution may prohibit trucks from traveling upon designated county streets, roads, highways, or bridges by posting signs indicating that no trucks are allowed on the designated portions of a roadway. Prior to any resolution being adopted by the board, the department of public works, in collaboration with the engineering department, shall report to the board the reasons why truck traffic is detrimental on certain designated streets, roads, highways, or bridge and should be prohibited. The public works director and the county engineer shall consider, without limitation, such factors as:

(1)

Is the street or road a residential street, an arterial road, a collector street, commercial street, or some other type of roadway.

(2)

The character of the neighborhood along the street, road, highway, or bridge, i.e., residential, agricultural, commercial, or other.

(3)

Whether the subject street, road, highway or bridge is designed to carry truck traffic.

(4)

Whether there are other safety considerations, such as, narrow width of the roadway or a travel lane or other similar factors.
