The Brazoria County Engineering Department and the Brazoria County
Sheriff's Office have formed a partnership in law enforcement. The
Weight Scale Enforcement Program, targeting overweight semi tractor
trailers and other commercial trucks on our County's roads, has been
initiated. The program is designed to decrease road damage from
overweight trucks and to increase public safety.
Texas Transportation Code, Section 621.409
allows for this Weight Scale Enforcement Program and will ensure
that commercial trucking industries obey the weight limit laws on
Brazoria County's roads. The program has been
initiated countywide and targets violators of the weight-limit law.
Brazoria County's
Weight Scale Enforcement Program includes two (2) Brazoria County
Sheriff Deputies who have access to portable weight scales that will
assist in enforcing the program's goals.
There is overwhelming evidence that overweight trucks are damaging
our County's roads. This intergovernmental approach will help to
eliminate this countywide problem, ensuring that our roads and
motorists' safety are continually protected.
