Official Sources Reviewed: October 23, 2026
Reno section 6.14.160 directs commercial vehicles and towed units above 10,000 pounds to Schedule A truck routes. It allows specific pickup, delivery or essential-use access using the shortest connection to a truck route; it does not allow non-truck streets as a convenient connection between two truck routes.

Which Local Sources Matter In Reno?
Schedule A is maintained for public inspection by the City Clerk and City Engineer. The online chapter alone is not a complete current route table.
The same section has a separate written city-traffic-engineer permit pathway for certain nighttime truck access from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. This is a local truck-access condition, distinct from claiming the city issues the state oversized-load permit.
Reno and Sparks are separate cities. A Sparks truck stop, permit contact or restriction must retain that locality.
