Uncle: I'd check with the local road dept engineer. Just to be exactly sure what that sign means. I've seen bridges down with trucks on them, a costly adventure. It doesn't do the truck or load any good. Remember if you off load for crossing the bridge It could make the difference.

I know a guy that had the same cavalier attitude as one of your respondants. One exception he was knocking these bridges out on purpose. He was always hauling this D7 on a lowbed, just as tractor was about to leave bridge he'd let the dozer blade hit the side rails so only dozer and low bed went down. He got about 4 bridges and finally he had to pay for one. One day that proceedure turned the dozer crossways. He found his dozer and low bed impounded until he posted a bond to value of bridge. Some jurisdictions may not be that lenient.
