How can I get a No Thru Trucks sign placed on my street?

Traffic Signs
AnyState, in conjunction with any town, may prohibit through truck traffic on any street or highway. The Attorney General's Office has defined a thru truck as one which travels from a point outside the limits of a city, town, or borough through such city, town or borough without any scheduled stop in the locality in question. Thus, a "No Thru Trucks" sign may not affect the majority of trucks using a particular road in a town, if they have a local destination.
Towns may preclude trucks from town roads by ordinance as long as they do not become de facto no through truck routes; that is, when the road in question passes over a town line to an adjoining town.
Careful evaluation of erecting such a sign needs to be made of how diverting truck traffic from one avenue may affect other routes.
