The District is a city of neighborhoods with many residential streets that were not built to handle the weight and damage caused by commercial vehicles. The enforcement of restricted truck and bus routes will reduce infrastructure damage and enhance quality of life in our neighborhoods. Oversize enforcement will be based on zones that include a number of blocks in the area of enforcement, with warning tickets issued for the first 30-days at the first location within a zone. Any subsequent location within the zone will issue live tickets.
Truck and bus drivers must stay on designated commercial motor vehicle routes and not drive on restricted streets. The oversize units use radar and lasers to detect whether a vehicle is too large to drive legally on a residential street.
