Lawrence Coogan Prosecuting attorney CooganLarry Coogan Prosecutor Coogan Bullies Defendants and ignores written laws in favor of ego and record Allen Park Michigan
Every year in Michigan, there is a "Frost Law" that goes into effect to protect roads traveled by commercial trucks. this law is and states:
MCL257.722
(8) Except as provided in this subsection and subsection (9), during the months of March, April, and May in each year, the maximum axle load allowable on concrete pavements or pavements with a concrete base is reduced by 25% from the maximum axle load as specified in this chapter, and the maximum axle loads allowable on all other types of roads during these months are reduced by 35% from the maximum axle loads as specified. The maximum wheel load shall not exceed 525 pounds per inch of tire width on concrete and concrete base or 450 pounds per inch of tire width on all other roads during the period the seasonal road restrictions are in effect. Subject to subsection (5), this subsection does not apply to vehicles transporting agricultural commodities or, subject to subsection (6), public utility vehicles on a highway, road, or street under the jurisdiction of a local road agency. In addition, this subsection does not apply to a vehicle delivering propane fuel to a residence if the vehicle's propane tank is filled to not more than 50% of its capacity and the vehicle is traveling at not more than 35 miles per hour. The state transportation department and each local authority with highways and streets under its jurisdiction to which the seasonal restrictions prescribed under this subsection apply shall post all of the following information on the homepage of its website or, if a local authority does not have a website, then on the website of a statewide road association of which it is a member:
(a) The dates when the seasonal restrictions are in effect.
(b) The names of the highways and streets and portions of highways and streets to which the seasonal restrictions apply.
Well, I did quite a bit of research and found this law contained in the same vehicle code.
257.726 Prohibitions, limitations, or truck route designations by local authorities and county road commissions; signs; written objection by adjoining township; violation as civil infraction.
Sec. 726.
(1) Local authorities and county road commissions with respect to highways under their jurisdiction, except state trunk line highways, by ordinance or resolution, may do any of the following:
(a) Prohibit the operation of trucks or other commercial vehicles on designated highways or streets.
(b) Impose limitations as to the weight of trucks or other commercial vehicles on designated highways or streets.
(c) Provide that only certain highways or streets may be used by trucks or other commercial vehicles.
(2) Any prohibitions, limitations, or truck route designations established under subsection (1) shall be designated by appropriate signs placed on the highways or streets. The design and placement of the signs shall be consistent with the requirements of section 608.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WENT TO COURT TO CONTEST THE MERITS OF THIS $2,700 CITATION.
