Bill > H201

This bill restricts the operation of certain large vehicle and trailer combinations on specific sections of U.S. Route 25/70 in Madison County, North Carolina. Specifically, the bill prohibits motor vehicle combinations with trailers longer than 30 feet or total vehicle and trailer combinations exceeding 48 feet from traveling on two designated portions of the route: first, from the intersection with N.C. Highway 213 northerly to the intersection with N.C. Highway 208, and second, from the intersection with N.C. Highway 208 westerly to the Tennessee state line. Violations of these restrictions will be subject to the same penalties outlined in G.S. 20-115.1, which likely involve fines or other legal consequences. The bill is geographically limited to Madison County and will become effective on December 1, 2025, applying to offenses committed on or after that date. This local legislation appears intended to address specific transportation or safety concerns on this stretch of roadway by limiting the size of vehicles and trailers that can travel through the area.
