Editor's note— Ord. No. 287, § 1, adopted January 12, 2015, repealed and reenacted Article X in its entirety to read as herein set out. Formerly, Article X pertained to violations, and derived from the County Code § 52.0129, and Ord. No. 1, § 1, adopted in 1978. For current provisions pertaining to violations, the user's attention is directed to Article XI of this Chapter.

A. Whenever any ordinance of the City Council designates and describes any street or portion thereof as a street the use of which is permitted by any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight of 10,000 pounds, such street or portion thereof shall be deemed a truck route.

B. When any such truck route is established and designated by appropriate signs, the operator of any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of 10,000 pounds shall drive on such route and none other, except that the operator of any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight of 10,000 pounds coming from a truck route may use restricted streets when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on such restricted streets or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling or construction of any building or structure upon such restricted streets for which a building permit has previously been obtained. The phrase "maximum gross weight" used in this Section shall have the same meaning as the phrase "manufactured gross vehicle weight rating" defined in the California Vehicle Code Section 390.

C. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to:

1. School buses and passenger buses under the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, Metropolitan Transit Authority, Schools;

2. Any vehicle owned by a public utility while necessarily in use in the construction, installation of or repair of any public utility; or

4. La Cadena Drive (within Grand Terrace City limit).

E. The use of any street or part of any street not established as part of the truck route is hereby prohibited by any commercial vehicle (as defined by California Vehicle Code Section 260) exceeding a maximum gross weight of ten thousand (10,000) pounds, except as allowed in Subsections B. and C. above. Appropriate signs shall be posted as designated by the California Department of Transportation "Traffic Manual" in accordance criteria established by the Public Works Director of the City, showing which streets are truck route.
