The state of Connecticut has established weight limits for trucks that drive on the highway. These limits relate to the size, length, and weight of trucks. Tractor trailers and similar vehicles that drive on roads need to follow these laws. These laws exist to keep the roads safe and protect other drivers. Huge trucks that break down or carry too much weight pose a danger to other drivers. You can check out this page for more information on Connecticut weight regulations and overweight trucks. In this article, I will discuss the locations of the weigh stations in Connecticut.
