Pursuant to these findings and the authority of the Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Code under Section 4902,[1] no motor vehicle or combination shall be operated upon any of the roads listed in § 163-5 with gross weight in excess of the weights listed for said road in § 163-5
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 4902.
The Board of Supervisors of Darlington Township may issue permits for the movement of motor vehicles or combinations with weights in excess of the restrictions imposed under § 163-5 and may require such undertaking or security as they may deem necessary to cover the costs of anticipated or probable repairs and restoration necessitated by the permitted movement of the vehicles. All such security under this authority shall be taken in accordance with 67 Pa. Code Chapter 189.
The Township shall erect or cause to be erected and maintained
weight restriction signs designating the restrictions at the end of
the portion of roads as provided in this article. In the case of a
restriction on a road which has not begun or ended at an intersection
with an unrestricted highway, the Township shall also place an advance
informational sign at the intersection nearest each end of the restricted
portion of the road, which would allow drivers to avoid the restricted
portion of the road.
