Police to Focus on Commercial Vehicle Safety

Here's information provided by the :

The Livermore Police Department has identified commercial vehicle violations as one of the key traffic issues affecting traffic safety in our community. While commercial vehicle enforcement occurs all year long, the department will increase the focus on these violations during the month of September.

Common commercial violations include driving off the truck routes, bypassing the California Highway Patrol inspection scales, transporting uncovered loads of rubbish or rock and transporting overweight loads. 

Officers who are specially trained to identify commercial vehicle violations will be conducting mobile enforcement throughout the month. We will also be providing information to the public about truck routes, sharing the road with large trucks and other commercial vehicle related issues.
