Municipal Code, Traffic Regulations of the City of Waukee, Iowa by
amending Section 66.05 “Truck Routes” as specified [introduction; first
reading]
FORMAT:Ordinance
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Due to the extension of existing streets designated as
truck routes and the addition of new streets intended to be truck routes, staff are proposing these
additional streets are designated as “Truck Routes” to better manage large vehicle traffic within
established residential and commercial areas. Further, the Governor of Iowa signed SF2376 into law
on May 23, 2022 which created a new All Systems Annual Overweight Permit statewide on all state,
county and city streets categorized as a truck route. Counties and Cities are required to validate all
truck routes for this permit by July 1, 2025. This amendment brings Waukee into compliance with this
state requirement.
