(1964 Code § 16.51)
A. 
When truck traffic routes are established and designated by appropriate signs as provided in CMC § 10.44.010 and 10.44.020, the operator of any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of three tons shall drive on such route and none other; except, that nothing in this section shall prohibit the operator of any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight of three tons coming from a truck traffic route having ingress and egress by direct route to and from restricted streets when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on such restricted streets or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon such restricted streets for which a building permit has previously been obtained therefor.

(Ord. 1564 § 1, 1984)
A. 
Whenever this code or any other ordinance of the city designates and describes any street or portion thereof as a street the use of which is prohibited by any commercial vehicle, the traffic engineer shall erect and maintain appropriate signs on those streets affected by such ordinance.
B. 
When signs are erected as provided in this section, no driver of a commercial vehicle shall disobey the direction of such sign; except, that nothing in this section shall prohibit the operator of any vehicle coming from a truck traffic route having ingress and egress by direct route to and from restricted streets when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on such restricted streets or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon such restricted streets for which a building permit has previously been obtained therefor.
(Ord. 1191, 1972; 1964 Code § 16.53)
A. 
Any combination of vehicles exceeding the maximum size as provided in CMC § 10.44.035 is permitted only on those routes which the city and other affected agencies have jointly identified and signed as being connections between terminals and federally designated highways.
B. 
For purposes of this section, "terminal" (as defined in Section 35401.5(b) of the State Vehicle Code) means a facility at which freight is consolidated to be shipped and where full-load consignments may be off-loaded, or at which the vehicle combinations are regularly maintained, stored or manufactured.
C. 
Determination of terminal access routes if the terminal is located in the city:
1. 
Proposals for signing the routes shall be initiated by the terminal operator or trucking firm by a written request to the city. The request shall include the following:
a. 
Name, address, business, telephone number, of applicant;
b. 
Location of the terminal;
c. 
Map showing the preferred route and alternate routes if appropriate;
d. 
Evidence that the terminal meets established criteria;
e. 
Evidence that the terminal parking and terminal entries are adequate;
f. 
Other considerations noted by applicant which need resolution, including potential road geometric problems.
2. 
The traffic engineer shall make a determination if the proposed routes have adequate turning radii and lane widths to safely accommodate these vehicles and the general traffic conditions such as sight distance, speed and traffic volumes will not prevent safe operation of these vehicles and endanger public safety.
3. 
If the route passes through more than the city's jurisdiction, the traffic engineer shall require written approval from all affected jurisdictions.
4. 
If the traffic engineer determines that the proposed routes are safe, and upon which the larger trucks can operate, the traffic engineer shall request a written approval from the State Department of Transportation for the access points to the federally designated highway system for larger trucks and for any routes that cross or traverse state highways.
5. 
After receiving written approval from all affected agencies, the traffic engineer shall give written approval to the terminal operator or trucking firm requesting the terminal access routes.
6. 
The traffic engineer shall erect and maintain terminal signings at every decision point on the route to terminals within the city.
7. 
The terminal operator or trucking firm requesting the terminal routes shall be responsible for the actual cost of erecting and maintaining the terminal signings along the approved terminal routes. The terminal operator or trucking firm shall also be responsible for signing costs and other charges that will be imposed by the other affected agencies.
8. 
The city has the right to revoke the terminal route designated or designate an alternate route if the proposed route performs in an unsatisfactory manner.
9. 
If either the traffic engineer or the other affected agencies determine that the proposed route is inadequate, the applicant shall be notified of acceptable alternate routes, if any, or shall be notified of those modifications necessary to make a route acceptable. The applicant shall be requested to eliminate deficiencies in the route, at the applicant's expense, prior to route approval.
