(A) Truck traffic restricted to the streets designated as truck routes may depart from such truck routes, where it is necessary for the immediate loading or unloading of property at a location situated off designated truck routes. However, such truck traffic shall not leave any designated truck route until it has reached a point on some designated truck route which is nearest the applicable place or loading or unloading by the most direct route possible. After leaving a designated truck route to load or unload, truck traffic may continue off truck routes to as many points of destination as necessary. However, if in the course of making necessary stops for loading and unloading the truck traffic shall cross a designated truck route, the truck traffic shall not again leave any designated truck route until it has reached a point on some designated truck route which is nearest to the next place of loading and unloading by the most direct route possible.
(B) When, under § 71.18, truck traffic originates off a designed truck route, whether inside or outside the city, and the destination of the truck traffic is nearer the origin or point of entering the city, as the case may be, than is the nearest point on a designated truck route by the most direct route possible, it shall not be necessary to proceed to the nearest designated truck route.
(C) Driving to a place of business in a commercially zoned area shall be a defense for driving on a non-truck route.
