Which Local Sources Matter In Boston?
Article VII gives separate rules for commercial-vehicle street exclusions, parkways and hazardous-material movements. A delivery exception under one provision does not resolve oversize clearance or authority under the others.
For a route near Sullivan Square, check the explicit hazardous-material underpass restriction rather than assuming a general truck route permits every cargo.

- City Of Boston Traffic Rules And Regulations — March 1, 2025 — Article VII sections 2–3 regulate excluded commercial vehicles and explain destination-related exceptions; the restricted-street list is held by BTD.
