HB 201 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Route 25/70 Vehicle Trailer Restrictions.

HB 201 restricts the use of long trailers on specific segments of U.S. Route 25/70 in Madison County, North Carolina. It prohibits motor vehicle combinations exceeding 48 feet total length or trailers over 30 feet in length on two defined route sections: from NC Highway 213 north to NC Highway 208, and from NC Highway 208 west to the Tennessee border. This directly affects commercial truck drivers and logistics companies operating heavy vehicles in that corridor. The law takes effect December 1, 2025, with penalties matching existing traffic violation fines under state law.
