Responding to residents’ complaints, Cherokee County has updated its list of roads, bridges and culverts where through trucks are prohibited as hazardous or unsafe.
The prohibitions date to a truck restriction ordinance adopted in July 2015 and updated annually since then, Geoffrey E. Morton, county public works director, told the Cherokee Board of Commissioners.
Commissioners approved adding Little, Beavers, Old Orange Mill, Wrights Mill, Cotton, County Line and Shiloh Church roads and Arthur Drive and S. Cherokee Lane to the list of streets where “No Thru Trucks” signs would be posted. Only trucks that originate or terminate on those roads will be allowed.
Through trucks already were barred from Butterworth, Scott, Bart Manous, Reavis Mountain, Marvin Land, Lower Creighton, Haley Farms and Old Federal roads, and from East Cherokee Drive (Holly Springs Parkway/Old Highway 5 to Ga. 20/Cumming Highway; and Ga. 20 to Creekside Way).
