[Adopted 12-18-2002 by L.L. No. 12-2002]
The Town is authorized, pursuant to § 1660, Subdivision
17, of this state's Vehicle and Traffic Law, to exclude trucks, commercial
vehicles, tractors, tractor-trailer combinations, and other vehicles
from highways specified by the Town Board, so long as such exclusions
shall not be construed to prevent the delivery or pickup of merchandise
or other property along the highways from which such vehicles are
otherwise excluded. From time to time, the Town is made aware that
special conditions, including preservation of highway surfaces, undue
dust, noise and other annoyances to residences adjoining Town highways,
and issues pertaining to safety of the traveled way, make it reasonable
to conclude that oversized vehicles should be excluded from using
said Town roads as a thoroughfare to and from points located off of
and beyond said Town roads. This article is enacted to give the Town
Board a foundation upon which to exercise its authority under Vehicle
and Traffic Law § 1660, Subdivision 17.
The Town Board hereby excludes trucks, commercial vehicles,
tractors, tractor-trailer combinations, tractor-semitrailer combinations,
or tractor-trailer-semitrailer combinations having a weight in excess
of five tons, exclusive of contents of such vehicles, from travel
upon the public highways listed below:
A.
Carey Road.
It shall be a violation to operate a vehicle in contravention
of the limitations set forth within this article. Both the operator
of the vehicle and the owner of the vehicle operated with the owner's
consent shall be liable for the violation.
Violation of this article shall be an offense and shall be subject
to the penalties prescribed for violation of local traffic regulations
as set forth within this state's Vehicle and Traffic Law.
