truck route

Heavy vehicle corridor

A truck route is a road designated for heavy commercial vehicles, either because it can handle the weight and size of large trucks or because it directs them away from residential areas and low bridges.

Signs mark these routes to guide truckers: Take the truck route to avoid downtown.

Some roads are marked "no trucks" to keep commercial traffic on designated truck routes.
