A. Certain roads within the village are, by their location, design and construction, amenable to vehicular traffic including heavy and/or large trucks, whereas other local roads are not capable of accommodating these vehicles safely, and the roads could be unduly damaged by such traffic. For these reasons, the village adopts and designates certain truck routes as the appropriate roads for truck traffic.
B. No person shall operate any vehicle with a (i) Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), whether single vehicle or in combination; or (ii) Gross vehicle weight (GVW),whether single vehicle or in combination; or (iii) A registered vehicle weight rating, whether single vehicle or in combination, exceeding twenty-six thousand (26,000) pounds upon any roadway under the jurisdiction of the Village, other than designated truck routes as identified in paragraph D of this section; except that such vehicles may be operated thereon for the purpose of delivering or picking up loads, material, or merchandise, and then only by entering such road at the intersection nearest the destination of the vehicle and proceeding thereon no further than the nearest intersection thereafter.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to school buses, village contracted refuse and rubbish haulers, roadway and utility maintenance vehicles, emergency vehicles, or any other vehicles engaged in any activity sanctioned or approved by the Village. The provisions of this section shall also not apply to vehicles acting in compliance with the instruction of a police officer, a posted detour route, or an overweight permit issued by the Village.
