§ 313. Restricting use of covered bridges
The agency and the selectmen of the town where a covered bridge is located or, if parts of such a bridge are located in more than one town, the selectmen of the towns acting jointly, may restrict the use of the bridge to vehicles which are within limits as to weight, height and width as they shall establish. The limitation shall be plainly posted at the approaches to the bridge at approximately one hundred feet from each end of the bridge, and at intersections as may be required to enable operators of restricted vehicles to proceed by the most direct alternate unrestricted route. Posting shall be by means of permanent signs of a standard size of at least twenty-four inches by twenty-four inches, and with lettering not less than three inches high. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj.
