Everlet. Yorkville police said they have installed signage prohibiting semitruck drivers
0:22
leaving Bright Farms from turning left onto Cornell's Road. A heightened traffic
0:27
crackdown in the Caledonia subdivision revealed citrucks are frequently using the residential
0:33
streets, mostly those associated with bright farms and the local menards. The
0:38
crackdown came after several residents voiced safety concerns about the semi-trucks traveling
0:44
through areas where kids play. The Yorkville police Department is committed to
0:48
working with our community partners to develop strategies and solutions that address
0:53
roadway concerns to create a safer roadway for everyone. The police posted.

The police previously ramped up enforcement of the eight-ton weight restriction on
1:05
residential roads throughout the city, the weight limit means semi-trucks are prohibited
1:09
from traveling through the city's subdivisions, and residential areas. Yorkville first began
1:16
ticketing violators of the Weight Ordinance in May 2025. The ordinance was
1:21
adopted after residents made similar safety concerns in the Kylans Ridge and
1:25
Cannonball estate subdivisions, saying that heavy trucks, construction trucks, and semi trucks
1:31
were speeding down residential streets.
