What is a "weigh station"?
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.
Example
Trucks must stop at the weigh station to make sure they are not carrying too much weight.
The driver saw a sign indicating the weigh station was only two miles ahead.
At the weigh station, the officers checked the weight of the truck and its cargo.
