A weigh station is a designated area along highways where trucks and large vehicles are stopped to check their weight. These stations ensure that vehicles do not exceed weight limits set for safety and road maintenance. Overloaded vehicles can cause damage to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, so weigh stations are used to prevent this. Trucks are typically weighed on a scale, and if they are too heavy, they may be required to unload some cargo before continuing their journey. Weigh stations help keep the roads safe and in good condition for all drivers.
