Section 2. Legislative Intent
The Town Board believes that it is reasonable and appropriate to amend Chapter 230-45 of the Town
Code to amend Schedule XI" in order exclude trucks over the weight of five (5) tons or 10,000 lbs
from Old Troy Road, except for local deliveries only. Old Troy Road is a one way, short, narrow road
with limited sight distances at its intersections which was designed to serve a limited number of
residences but instead has become a cut through street for vehicles avoiding traffic on New York
State Route 9D and has caused concerns regarding the longevity of the roadway.

Code to amend Schedule XI" in order exclude trucks over the weight of five (5) tons or 10,000 lbs
from Smithtown Road, except for local deliveries only. Smithtown Road is a narrow with significantly
sharp turns and limited sight distances at its intersections which was designed to serve a limited
number of residences but instead has become a cut through street for vehicles avoiding traffic on
US Route 9 and has caused concerns regarding the longevity of the roadway.
A weight limitation will limit the amount of traffic on Old Troy Road and Smithtown Road by reducing
the number of vehicles that would be permitted to use it, particularly vehicles over five tons. This
local law is determined to be an exercise of the police powers of the Town to protect the public health,
safety and welfare of its residents.
