No Trucks Sign
The no trucks sign is a white regulatory sign showing a black truck silhouette inside a red circle with a red diagonal slash. It prohibits trucks — typically those over a certain weight, such as vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 10,000 or 26,000 pounds, depending on the jurisdiction — from using that road. No truck signs are posted on roads that cannot safely handle large vehicle traffic due to weight limits on bridges, narrow lanes, steep grades, sharp curves, residential considerations, or structural limitations. Some no truck signs apply to all trucks, while others specify weight or axle limits. Related signs may say "NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES," "WEIGHT LIMIT," or "LOCAL DELIVERY ONLY." The restrictions may also be time-based, prohibiting trucks during certain hours (often nighttime in residential areas). When you encounter a no trucks sign, you must find an alternate route. Using a GPS designed for trucks can help you avoid roads with truck restrictions. Ignoring truck route restrictions can result in significant fines and, more importantly, can cause bridge collapses, road damage, and accidents on roads not designed for heavy vehicles.
CDL 及商业驾驶员须知
The no trucks sign is one of the most critical signs for CDL drivers. Know your vehicle's GVWR and axle weights. Use truck-specific GPS routing that accounts for truck restrictions. Plan routes in advance and know alternate routes. Local delivery exceptions typically require documentation proving you have a delivery at an address on the restricted road. Violations can result in fines, out-of-service orders, and points that affect your CDL.

处罚
Driving a restricted truck on a prohibited road carries fines of $200-$1,000+ depending on the jurisdiction. If your vehicle causes road or bridge damage, you may be liable for repair costs that can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
