(a) Except as provided in subsection (g), local authorities
with respect to highways under their jurisdiction may by
ordinance or resolution prohibit the operation of vehicles upon
any such highway or impose restrictions as to the weight of
vehicles to be operated upon any such highway, for a total
period of not to exceed 90 days, measured in either consecutive

in any one calendar year, whenever any said highway by reason

reduced.
(b) The local authority enacting any such ordinance or
resolution shall erect or cause to be erected and maintained
signs designating the provision of the ordinance or resolution
at each end of that portion of any highway affected thereby,
and the ordinance or resolution shall not be effective unless
and until such signs are erected and maintained.
(c) Local authorities with respect to highways under their
jurisdiction may also, by ordinance or resolution, prohibit the
operation of trucks or other commercial vehicles, or may impose
limitations as the weight thereof, on designated highways,
which prohibitions and limitations shall be designated by

has been divided into 2 or more lanes proceeding in the same
direction.
(c-5) Highway commissioners, with respect to roads under
their authority, may not permanently post a road or portion
thereof at a reduced weight limit unless the decision to do so

10000HB3460ham001 - 3 - LRB100 10851 AXK 23737 a
is made in accordance with Section 6-201.22 of the Illinois

Section, the owner or driver of the vehicle shall be deemed

pounds, and the driver of the cargo tank vehicle notifies the
