AI Summary

This bill allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to establish truck exclusion zones on municipal roads, provided that an alternate route is available for trucks. The bill defines a "truck" as a heavy commercial vehicle with a carrying capacity of more than 2.5 tons. The city or town can consider factors such as the volume of truck traffic, pavement condition, and residential land use when determining the exclusion zone. Trucks are still allowed on the excluded routes for the purpose of making deliveries or performing maintenance and construction work. Violators of the exclusion zone can be fined up to $100.
