SB1098 amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-1106, concerning vehicle size, weight, and load, to require that from January 1, 2024, any restrictions on highway use must be indicated by uniform signs designed by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). These signs must be placed near every intersection or junction with a traffic control device along the designated highways. The signs must inform the public of the restrictions and either direct the public to the fastest route to leave a restricted route or inform the public of the distance that the route is restricted. If the required signs are not erected or maintained, the restrictions will be unenforceable.

The bill modifies the current law by specifying that the signs must be uniform and designed by ADOT, and it changes the placement requirements for these signs. It also introduces consequences for non-compliance, stating that restrictions will not be enforceable if the signs are not properly erected and maintained by the specified date.
