Laws and Regulations
As of my last update in January 2022, New York City has specific regulations for commercial vehicles, which include requirements for lettering. It’s crucial to comply with these laws to avoid penalties and ensure your commercial vehicle is operating legally on NYC roads. Some key points of the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for commercial vehicle lettering are:
NYC Commercial Vehicle Lettering Requirements
Lettering is mandatory for all commercial vehicles in New York City, without any exceptions. If a vehicle is engineered or modified for transporting goods or services and has commercial license plates from the Department of Motor Vehicles, it must adhere to all rules governing commercial vehicles. This includes the necessity for lettering that specifies the owner and origin of the vehicle.
In accordance with NYC Traffic Rules, commercial vehicles are obligated to showcase the owner’s name and address using permanent, 3-inch-high lettering. This information must be visibly displayed on both sides of the vehicle, either in the middle of the doors or along the vehicle’s sides. Additionally, the lettering must be in a color that is easily distinguishable from the vehicle’s paint color; it cannot be camouflaged to match the vehicle.
NJ Commercial Vehicle Lettering Requirements
Lettering Requirements: New Jersey mandates specific lettering that needs to be clearly visible. This lettering should include:
- The name of the owner, lessee, or lessor of the vehicle.
- The name of the city or town where the owner, lessee, or lessor's main business location is situated.
- If the vehicle weighs 26,001 pounds or more, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the combined gross vehicle weight rating must also be displayed. This is applicable if the vehicle is registered or mainly located in New Jersey.
- The lettering must have a minimum height of three inches.
