My street has “No Truck” signs on it. Why are trucks still driving on my street?
Per Village of Palatine ordinance, streets that are posted with “No Truck” signs prohibit trucks with a maximum gross weight over 10,000 pounds. These signs only restrict trucks over 10,000 pounds from using your street as a cut-thru to another street. Trucks may still use “No Truck” streets if they have a destination on that street, or if that street is the only way to gain access to their destination. Regardless, they still have to be of legal weight and size as if the street was not restricted.
