Can I use local streets that are posted as “No Truck” routes?
Streets in Palatine posted as “No Trucks” are limited to trucks with a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or less. The 10,000 pound weight limit is defined as actual weight (on the scale), registered weight or manufacturers GVWR. You can use them if your destination is on the restricted street or the restricted street is the only access to your destination. You cannot use the restricted street to cut-thru to another street. No matter what, the vehicle weight and size must be legal for the street as if was not restricted.
