> There's already half a dozen Rivian R1Ts, despite the local 3-ton weight limits.
> 14.56.070 A. It is unlawful for any person to operate any commercial vehicle exceeding three tons gross vehicle weight on the following portions of streets, hereafter referred to as "restricted streets"
I think you probably meant 14.56.050, which restricts vehicles over 5 tons from traveling on 5 streets. The law you cited is for commercial vehicles only and has a litany of exceptions but would permit the Rivian for personal use.
- jeffbee 4y agoIn California, every pickup truck is registered commercial, by law. I really wish people who aren't from my city or state would stop arguing from their ignorant suppositions.
- cptskippy 4y agoI live in California and I've never heard of this but I've only been here a couple years and don't own a truck so I'm still learning the laws. Reading further, 14.56.080 defines 1 ton as 2000 lbs so 3 tons is 6000 lbs. The Rivian is 5800 lbs so it's legal. What am I missing?
