This law allows local governments, like counties or cities, to pass their own rules letting heavier vehicles and loads travel on their roads. The state weight limits wouldn't apply in these cases. However, this law doesn't apply to state highways, where state weight limits still stand.

This law allows the California Department of Transportation to issue special permits for certain large vehicles transporting intermodal cargo containers in international commerce. These permits apply to vehicles traveling on specific highways in the cities of Carson, Long Beach, and Los Angeles.

The vehicles must meet specific weight and axle limit requirements, with a gross weight not exceeding 95,000 pounds. Permits require descriptions of the loads, liability agreements, proof of insurance, and displaying an identifying marker on the vehicle. Permits are valid for one year and can be revoked for safety concerns or if conditions aren't met.

Vehicles cannot exceed weight limits outside designated corridors, and the permit doesn't cover hazardous materials. Fees may be charged for issuing permits and vehicle markers.

This law allows the Department of Transportation to issue special permits for vehicles transporting cargo containers on a specific part of State Route 185 in Oakland. The vehicles can exceed normal weight limits if they meet certain criteria, including a max weight not over 95,000 pounds, and they comply with designated axle weight limits. These permits are only for non-hazardous shipments and have to be renewed yearly. Vehicles must meet safety and insurance requirements and display a special marker. If an alternate truck route is established or by the end of 2031, this law will be repealed. The City of Oakland must report on road repairs and community impacts caused by these vehicles by January 1, 2031.

This law allows cities and counties to create rules that limit certain vehicles, like big trucks, from using specific streets. However, some vehicles, like those collecting trash on specific routes in San Diego County, can still use these streets. For the rules to apply, signs must be put up to inform drivers. These rules do not apply to state highways part of the national highway system unless approved by a high level vote. San Diego County can decide which routes are considered 'traditionally used' for waste vehicles, meaning they've been used for at least a year for that purpose.

For a local ordinance regulating vehicle use on highways to be effective, the highway must be under the local authority's control. If it's a state highway, the ordinance must be approved by the Department of Transportation. The local authority must suggest an alternate route for vehicles, which should not have weight or type restrictions, while the ordinance is in effect. Department approval of the ordinance also approves the alternate route.

This law ensures that commercial vehicles can still enter restricted streets from unrestricted ones if they are making deliveries or pickups to buildings on those streets. This includes delivering goods or bringing materials for construction or repair projects, as long as there is a building permit for the work.

This law says that local rules that lower weight limits for vehicles don't apply to vehicles owned by public utilities or licensed contractors. This exception is for when these vehicles are being used for work on building, installing, or fixing public utilities.

This law states that cities can't reduce weight limits on streets that use state highway funds for construction or maintenance, unless the city holds a public hearing. They must give notice and allow at least 60 days for objections before the hearing. Everyone can present their objections, both written and oral, during the hearing conducted by the city's legislative body.

County boards in California can pass a law to lower the weight limits for vehicles and their loads on unimproved county roads or bridges.

This law allows county boards of supervisors to temporarily lower the weight limits on vehicles using certain highways. This can only happen if the highway is at risk of being damaged due to deterioration, and the restriction can't last more than 90 days unless repairs start within that period and are actively worked on until finished.

An 'improved county highway' is defined as a highway with a paved surface made of materials like cement or asphalt, or a hard surface that's at least four inches thick, created with materials like rock, sand, or gravel bound together with something other than natural soil.

If someone writes a protest to the clerk of the board of supervisors within 15 days after a new rule lowers the maximum weight allowed on a highway, that weight limit change won't be final until the Department of Transportation holds a hearing and approves the change.

This law section outlines a procedure where a hearing is held regarding highways in a particular county. The hearing must occur within 25 days of a request, and it's conducted by engineers from the Department of Transportation, selected by the Director of Transportation. They listen to all the evidence, provide their findings in writing to the director, who then approves or disapproves any requested reduction based on these findings.

This law says that if new weight limits are set for a highway, different from the ones already established by the code, the board of supervisors has to put up signs at every entrance to that highway showing the new weight limits.

This law ensures that no local regulation can stop commercial vehicles from using county roads to reach or leave state highways when they're delivering or picking up goods.

This law allows any county in California to ban commercial vehicles over 14,000 pounds from using roads in unincorporated residential areas. Some counties, specifically those classified as third or ninth class, can set a lower weight limit of 5,000 pounds for these areas. However, this restriction does not apply to vehicles used by public utilities for tasks related to their services, like installation or repairs.

This law states that if a local government wants to close a highway to certain vehicles, they must first put up signs to let drivers know which roads are affected. The closure can't take effect unless there's also an alternate route designated by the local county's board of supervisors. This alternate route must allow all vehicles, especially commercial ones, to pass without any additional local restrictions for as long as the closure is in effect.

This section outlines exceptions to local ordinances on road use. Certain vehicles and situations are exempt from these local rules:

(a) Vehicles regulated by specific Public Utilities code provisions.

(b) Highways shared with city jurisdiction unless the city agrees.

(c) Commercial vehicles using direct routes for pickups, deliveries, or construction work needing access.

(d) Ambulances and hearses operation.

(e) Public utility vehicles involved in maintenance or repairs.

(f) State highways until approved by the Department of Transportation, with an alternate route provided.

(g) Vehicles connected to local industrial, commercial, or agricultural activities.

The County of Nevada in California can pass a local law to prevent heavy commercial vehicles from using Northwoods Boulevard if they exceed a certain weight limit. However, exceptions to this rule include vehicles making deliveries or pickups directly on Northwoods Boulevard, emergency vehicles like ambulances or hearses, and vehicles used by public utilities for their services.

This law allows Tuolumne County to set a weight limit for vehicles on Old Priest Grade. The limit can be imposed on vehicles weighing 7,500 pounds or more, as decided by the County Board of Supervisors.

However, this rule doesn't apply to vehicles making deliveries or pickups on the restricted road, emergency vehicles like ambulances, or public utility vehicles doing maintenance work. These exceptions ensure necessary services and emergency access are maintained.

This law states that if a city creates a new rule to lower weight limits on roads, that rule doesn’t apply to certain vehicles involved in public works projects. Specifically, vehicles owned by licensed contractors or highway carriers carrying materials to or from these projects are exempt. However, this exemption applies only if the bids for the project were opened before the new rule and if no alternative route is offered by the city.

This law allows counties in California to create local rules that prevent very heavy commercial trucks—those over 14,000 pounds—from using streets, roads, or highways if those roadways can't support such heavy vehicles according to engineering standards.

This law says that before a new rule about vehicle weight limits can be enforced on certain streets or roads, signs must first be put up clearly showing which areas are impacted or not impacted by the rule. It's up to the board of supervisors to decide how to place these signs to best notify drivers.

This law states that if a county wants to restrict the use of a street, road, or highway that connects to a neighboring county's road, both counties must agree. They must take the same action and impose the same restrictions for the change to be valid.

This law says that certain local rules about roads do not apply to specific types of vehicles and situations. First, some large vehicles under other regulations and farm labor vehicles aren't affected. Second, rules don't count on roads not controlled by county boards or on state highways unless the transportation department approves them and provides an alternate route for the heavy vehicles. Third, commercial vehicles can use restricted roads when making deliveries or working on construction projects. Fourth, vehicles involved in local business operations are exempt. Fifth, vehicles used by utilities or contractors for public utility work aren't affected. Lastly, ambulances and hearses are also not restricted.

This law states that before any ordinance, which is a local law, can be adopted under Section 35717, there must be a public notice and hearing. This notice has to be published according to specific rules and should inform interested individuals that they can present their objections either in writing or orally. There must be at least 60 days from the first notice publication before the hearing happens. The hearing is conducted by the board of supervisors, where everyone with objections gets a fair chance to express their views.

Before creating freeway agreements for Highway Route 85 in Santa Clara County, the local county board can propose a rule to limit truck weights to 9,000 pounds on a stretch of this highway. This proposal needs agreement from all cities along the highway and must be approved by the Department of Transportation.

If approved, the weight limit will be included in freeway agreements and take effect when any part of the new Route 85 opens. Signs will be put up to inform drivers of this limit, similar to those on Route 580 in Oakland.
