My small town has to spend so much money repairing roads damaged by large trucks that we considered a weight limit or perhaps a fee for vehicles over a certain GVW, but anything of the sort is illegal in our state to implement so we're just forced to build roads large enough for the largest truck that feels like driving through town and constantly fixing the damage.
- verve_rat 5y agoYour town could build some tight s-bends at each entrance to town.
- ethagknight 5y agoYour small town can just make it a hassle to drive a large truck through. Bollards, bump outs with bollards, protected pedestrian crossings (with bollards). Bollards are key because trucks will willing destroy landscaping or hard scape, need something that will damage the truck. Also important to give truckers a quality alternative route to avoid the more sensitive parts of town. Lots of solutions available if town council wants to explore.
