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, See. 130 -3(c) of the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County

county commissioners by resolution, shall cause signs to be posted giving notice thereof on the
roads and streets so designated...;" and

and the County Manager recommends that such heavy truck through - traffic be prohibited.
