The purpose of this chapter is to prevent trucks exceeding 10 tons in
weight from using the interior streets of the Village of Haverstraw particularly

direct them instead to Route 9W in order to pass through the Village of Haverstraw.

tractor-semitrailer combination or tractor-trailer-semitrailer combination
in excess of 10 tons in weight shall be allowed to travel on the public streets
in the Village of Haverstraw, County of Rockland, State of New York, with
the exception of Route 9W and Route 202. Such exclusion shall not be construed
to prevent the delivery or pickup of merchandise or other property along Village
streets which such vehicles are otherwise excluded from using.
All such commercial vehicles over the weight of 10 tons delivering or
picking up in the Village of Haverstraw must enter and exit from the Village
of Haverstraw by using the shortest route to and from their Village destination
to and from Route 9W and Route 202.
For those trucks required to use the Short Clove - Route 9W access to
and exit from the Village, in the event any such truck cannot safely make
the turn from Short Clove Avenue onto Route 9W and Route 9W onto Short Clove
Avenue, such truck shall be permitted to access and exit the southern portion
of the Village by using New Main Street and Maple Avenue/West Street.
