Summary
Trucks are dodging freeway congestion by cutting through rural roads, wrecking pavement and worrying residents and cyclists. Traffic Order 438 puts a 7-ton limit on 18 roads, with signs going up in about two months, ag trucks exempt, and the CHP handling enforcement. Staff may add more roads (like McCormick Road) later.

Impact analysis
Signage and enforcement cost the county staff time, but the order should save money by cutting pavement damage on rural roads.
Rural residents, cyclists, and the county road maintenance budget all win when heavy trucks stay on designated routes.
Trucking companies and some farm haulers now face route restrictions, though agricultural trucks are exempt.
