Local Law No. 5 - 2010
This local law shall be known as the “Elimination of Large Truck Traffic on Harmon
Drive” Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 – Purpose:
The Town Board determines that because it runs essentially parallel to the New York State
Thruway (I-95), Harmon Drive is beleaguered by trucks which use it as a through street to reach
other points within the Town of Mamaroneck and beyond. Since Harmon Drive is primarily a
residential street, such use disrupts the quality of life of its residents. Accordingly, using the
powers given to it by section 1660 (a) (28) of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law, the Town
Board hereby addresses this problem.
Section 2 – Exclusion of Certain Vehicles from Harmon Drive:
(a) Trucks, commercial vehicles, tractors, tractor-trailer combinations, tractor-semitrailer
combinations and tractor-semitrailer-semitrailer combinations weighing in excess of
five (5) tons are prohibited from driving on Harmon Drive from the point where
Harmon Drive begins at Weaver Street to the boundary between the Town of
Mamaroneck and the Village of Mamaroneck.
(b) This section shall not apply to prevent vehicles described in paragraph (a) from
delivering or picking up merchandise or other property from properties bordering
Harmon Drive.
Section 3 – Sign(s) to be Erected and Painting to be Done:
An appropriate sign or signs shall be erected on and/or above, and/or striping shall be
painted on the surface of Harmon Drive indicating the prohibition created by this law.
Section 4 – Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 5 – Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
