H 3706 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to commercial traffic on a certain road in Chelmsford

This bill allows Massachusetts towns and cities to set height and weight limits for trucks on roads located within 500 yards of quarries or gravel pits. Local officials would make these decisions through a vote by their town council or selectboard to protect local infrastructure from heavy commercial traffic. The law specifically targets motor vehicles operating near these industrial sites, giving municipalities the authority to regulate size and weight on those specific roadways.
