Weight restrictions

Looks like the sign question has been answered, but I would strongly recommend that you weigh the whole rig loaded for travel just so you know for sure where you are.

All of our town roads are posted at ten tons. This is to keep truckers from using our back roads as a short cut between hiways or as a way around a dot check. The roads are not built to handle that kind of weight constantly. Most of the signs have a "Local Delivery Excepted" clause.
Every once in a while you will get screwed and be 5 miles onto a road and come up on a restricted bridge.

Generally speaking, you are not commercial. However, you need to pay attention to the location of the sign(s).
For example: Many residential areas will have signs like that to keep large trucks from driving through.
Sometimes business areas restrict commercial vehicles to specific streets.
As previously noted, if you see a sign restricting a bridge to 10,000 lbs., you don't want to try it with a 20,000 rig, commercial or not. The consequences could be like the one in Mt. Vernon WA.
Some roadways are not designed/built for vehicles weighing over 10,000 lbs. and are signed appropriately. Believe them.
Kinda like the height restrictions "Large,Tall Trucks restricted" Well, I'm not a truck, but I am 12'3" high and a 12' underpass would take my roof off as easily as a trucks.
In California, before RVing was so popular, the speed limit for vehicles towing or 3 or more axles was 55 mph. The signs said Trucks, Autos Towing 55. (Speed limit is still 55)
So,guess what? Boat trailers, RV trailers said "I'm not a car or truck so it doesn't apply to me.
CalTrans finally got the message and changed the signs to read:
ALL VEHICLES TOWING 55. Boat trailers and RVers still ignore it, thinking it doesn't apply.
In the case of a weight restriction, I would be very careful about driving a highway with a 10,000 lb. limit. I wouldn't want to take the chance. Just because my 26,000 lb. MH is not commercial doesn't mean it doesn't weigh 26,000 lb.s

You are legal in most states.
I pay attention to those signs for bridges on the backroads. I would sure not go over a bridge that has weight restrictions that are lower then our weight.

I am reasonably sure that I am over 20000.

I am however obviously not commercial.

could I have driven this road legally if I had?

What part of "commercial vehicle" applies to you? Of course nothing as you already pointed out. Therefore, why would you even think to ask the question?

It says commercial. You're not commercial. Enjoy the road.
