* West Virginia - City loses appeal to regulate heavy truck traffic
-- The Morgantown, W. Va., city council has lost an appeal to regulate traffic along Route 7 in its jurisdiction based on size and weight... The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia affirmed an earlier ruling that denied the City of Morgantown the ability to regulate, by municipal ordinance, the weight and size of certain vehicles traveling on W.Va. State Route 7 through the city's downtown... According to court documents, a local group called Safe Streets Morgantown wanted to prevent heavy truck traffic from using th state road through Morgantown’s business district and asked the city council to enact an ordinance prohibiting vehicles exceeding certain weight and size limits... Ultimately, the court would not allow the City of Morgantown to regulate the size or weight of vehicles traveling on Route 7 within the city because it was part of the state road system and was out of their jurisdiction...
