WHEREAS, Chapter 316, Florida Statutes, permits the Board of County Commissioners
to prohibit or regulate any class or kind of traffic found to be incompatible with the normal and
safe movement of traffic on roads and streets under its jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, Sec. 130-3(a) of the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County
provides in relevant part that "No person shall operate any truck or other commercial vehicle with
a rated capacity in excess of one ton upon any road or street in the county whenever such road or
street is posted with signs prohibiting such operation...;" and
WHEREAS, Sec. 130-3(c) of the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County
provides in relevant part that "The county administrator is authorized to determine those roads
and streets upon which such roads are to be prohibited, and... with the approval of the board of
county commissioners by resolution, shall cause signs to be posted giving notice thereof on the
road~ and streets so designated. ..;" and
WHEREAS, an engineering study by the Collier County Traffic Operations Department
has indicated that heavy truck through-traffic is not compatible with existing road conditions and
road usage along Oaks Boulevard since the street is within a fully developed, residential area not
conducive to heavy truck traffic; accordingly the Collier County Traffic Operations Department
and the County Manager recommends that such heavy truck through-traffic be prohibited.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the Board of County
Commissioners does hereby prohibit the operation of trucks and other commercial vehicles
having a rated load-carrying capacity in excess of one (I) ton from through-movements on Oaks
Boulevard and does hereby direct the County Manger on his designee to erect signs giving notice
thereof after notification to the Collier County Sheriff.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Collier
County Sheriff's Office for proper enforcement of this prohibition.
This resolution adopted after motion, second, and majority vote favoring same, this 14th
