Section 2B.109 - NO TRUCKS WITH R PERMIT Signs (NYR5-4, NYR5-4aP)

Standard:

01 The NO TRUCKS WITH R PERMIT (NYR5-4) sign (see Sign Drawing SD-R20) shall be used to identify a bridge or elevated structure that has been designated as R-Posted.

02 Where used, the NO TRUCKS WITH R PERMIT sign shall be placed at, or immediately in advance of, the bridge to which it applies.

03 The NO TRUCKS WITH R PERMIT sign shall be supplemented with a W (NYR5-4aP) plaque where the bridge or elevated structure may be crossed by vehicles operating pursuant to overweight permits having structure use restrictions. Where used, the W plaque shall be mounted below the NO TRUCKS WITH R PERMIT sign.

Support:

04 R-Posted bridges are bridges which, based on design or condition, do not have the reserve capacity to accommodate most vehicles over legal weights, but can still safely carry weights generally authorized for vehicles operating without permits. Vehicles operating pursuant to an overweight permit with structure use restrictions (known as "R" Permits) are not allowed to cross R-Posted bridges.
