Wilmington Police, Highway Patrol reminding tractor trailers to avoid 3rd St.
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Wilmington Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Unit is working with the North Carolina Highway Patrol in the area of 3rd Street and Davis Street to remind commercial motor vehicles to avoid driving down 3rd Street.
The Wilmington Police Department said the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge preservation project affects everyone in the community right now.
WPD said in a news release, they want to remind all operators of commercial motor vehicles of two things. First, stay on designated truck routes provided by appropriate signage that has been posted on the roadways and online. If you are driving or know someone driving a commercial motor vehicle and you are using a GPS navigation system, make sure that navigation system is programmed properly for being used in a commercial motor vehicle.
As a reminder, Wilmington Police say commercial vehicle drivers are subject to citations for traveling on roadways that prohibit commercial motor vehicles.
