FM 1518 cannot be designated a no truck route due to part of the roadway being in unincorporated Guadalupe County. Schertz can place signs on state highways (FMs and IH 35) as long as they are >150-200 feet from state signs. We can place weight limit signs on FM 78 and IH 35 Access Road indicating limit on Schertz Parkway Signage / Trucks Suggestion of signs for all major entrances to the city indicating authorized truck routes being: IH 35 FM 3009 FM 482 FM 2252 FM 78 FM 1518 Additionally, signs could be added indicating 15,000 lb. weight limit on all city streets Possibly check with TXDOT / Selma to see if we can add a low clearance sign at the Selma entrance to FM 1518. Signage / Trucks GPS Companies: Contact was made with Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze who all indicated that their maps contain all necessary information regarding railroad crossings (not willing to change anything) Check of trucker’s apps for directions show that the free ones have many issues and I have not been able to get a trial for the paid apps to test them, yet. Reached out to Fleetworthy who advised they would put a warning in their system that alerts drivers through their in-cab toll and weigh station bypass system. Signage / Trucks Thank you, SGT Bull Morehouse Questions?
