County Bans Big Trucks In 9½ Mile Road Area, River Annex Road
February 5, 2018
The Escambia County Commission has voted to prohibit large trucks on several roads in the Cantonment and Ensley areas.
Vehicles over 10,500 pounds gross weight will not be allowed on:
- River Annex Road, from Muscogee Road To Jacks Branch Road
- Nine and One Half Mile Road, from Pine Forest Road to US Highway 29
- Ten Mile Road, from Edendale Lane to Stefani Road
- Edendale Lane, from Ten Mile Road to Nine and One Half Mile Road
- Ashland Avenue, from Ten Mile Road to Nine Mile Road
- Bowman Avenue, from Ten Mile Road to Nine Mile Road
- Cove Avenue, from Ten Mile Road to Nine Mile Road
- Fowler Avenue, from Nine and One Half Mile Road to Nine Mile Road
The truck ban will not include trucks servicing or having business within the area.
The vehicle weight restriction on River Annex Road is under consideration due to layout of intersections, narrow width, roadway condition and potential shoulder hazards.
The restriction on the other roadways is under consideration to curtail truck cut-through traffic, which is undesirable on the designated roadways which are residential in nature and not constructed to support or accommodate volumes of heavy truck traffic, according to county documents.

REGARDING:
“…servicing or having business within the area.”
I would think that means a reason to be there other than just to pass through it.
The difference between”having business” and “having a business.”
I could be wrong but that seems a reasonable interpretation.
David for safe travel for emergency vehicles
(and school buses, of course)
Actually if someone is taking a tractor truck / trailer to their house on River Annex Road they are only allowed to do so if their residence is registered as the trucking company or place of business…..if this is not the case whether its the driver’s own truck or he is driving a company truck home, he is in violation of the truck prohibition and subject to being ticketed for such………………
It says
The truck ban will not include trucks servicing or having business within the area. So the man that lives on river annex is fine and he knows how to drive on that road unlike others.
I hope they never black top river annex they already drive through here like it is the drag strip. Someone’s kids are gonna end up hurt
I laugh everytime the lovely 18 wheeler gets stuck on the incline from River Annex to Jacks Branch… I’m sorry the guy lives down there but something ought to be done about that incline.. I can’t see why they (the road crew) couldn’t have fixed that when they repaved and did the drainage on Jacks Branch.. there should’ve been some way for the annex road to be raised a little to take some of the incline out so bigger vehicles don’t have issues turning there… and I will be so glad once the Muscogee road is finally finished… so many 18 wheelers and log trucks come flying down Jacks Branch now..
I’ve been taking River Annex every day with a bus of around 22,000 pounds.
Hmmm, what to do, what to do…obey? Nah, got kids to pick up and drop off, Exempt.
David for black-topping the blessed thing
Do they honestly think that Morgan will enforce this?
What about the gentleman that drives an 18 wheeler for a living that lives on river annex road ?
Oh, that’s rich. We lived with some of the most massive vehicles coming down Kathleen Avenue every day, all day for quite awhile while the ECUA was doing their big deal work on their pipe system. They never should have used our street. They had an entrance on Kingsfield and Muscogee.
