The supervisor of maintenance is directed to post signs on streets entering the city limits of the city indicating the restrictions as enumerated in DPMC § 10.08.040 are in effect.
Seasonal Road Restrictions. The following weight restrictions shall apply to city streets when posted with notice of such restrictions when determined by the maintenance supervisor when such restrictions are necessary to prevent damage to the roadway:
Load limit per vehicle is defined as the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of 26,000 pounds for a single vehicle or GCWR (gross combined weight rating) of 26,000 pounds for a combination of vehicle and trailer.
Posted restrictions shall not apply to school buses, city or county maintenance vehicles, emergency vehicles, motor trucks transporting perishable commodities or commodities necessary for the health and welfare of the local residents such as milk trucks, livestock feed trucks and fuel oil trucks, and other vehicles approved by the maintenance supervisor to travel on restricted city roads.
Any person violating this chapter shall be deemed to have committed an infraction and shall be subject to the penalties set forth in RCW 46.44.105, as the same exists now or may hereafter be amended, as would be applied if the city street where the violation occurs was a state highway.
