I95 Weigh Station in Maryland

Earlier today we were driving on I95 south to our destination in Williamsburg, VA. There is a weigh station on the south bound lane in Maryland right before crossing the Susquehanna River. As we approached the weigh station there was a sign staring, "All vehicles over 5T must enter weigh station". I never see anything other than commercial vehicles at these weigh stations on I95.

Did something change that they really mean ALL Vehicles over 5T?

Here is a link from AAA: Weigh stations per state

Some state specifically exclude RV's and some do not. Some say all vehicles over a certain weight.
That said, I have to say that I have personally driven through most all of these states and never once did I pull in to a weigh station. That does not mean that I was not required to by law but it may just mean that they did not care to enforce the law at that time. Who knows what they did the next day. Remember, it is all about the money and there may be a time when the states DO enforce their laws and start issuing expensive tickets for failing to stop at a weigh station.

I would think they mean All vehicles over 5 ton and pull in if I was that heavy.

Let them explain to me if I am exempt when the sign says ALL VEHICLES.

There is probably an exception for private vehicles, but that is not what the sign says.
