KRS 189.221 to 189.230 and 189.280 shall not apply to motor trucks,
semitrailer trucks, or trailers owned by the United States, the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, or any agency of them, any county or city.
If any motor truck, semitrailer truck, or trailer is lawfully licensed by a city
pursuant to KRS 186.270, then KRS 189.221 and subsection (1) of 189.222
shall not apply thereto, within the limits of the city issuing the license, or within
fifteen (15) miles of the limits of the city, if it is a city of the first, second, third, or
fourth class, or within five (5) miles of its limits if it is a city of the fifth or sixth
class, except on such state-maintained highways or portions thereof, including
connecting-link streets, as may be designated by the commissioner of
highways, and on such county highways as may be designated by the county
judge/executive; provided, however, that in no case shall any vehicle exceed
the weight and size limitations established by the city ordinance when those
limitations are less stringent than those provided in the aforementioned
sections of the statutes. For the purposes of this subsection vehicles exempt
from the imposition of a city license tax by reason of subsection (2) of KRS
281.830 shall be entitled to the same exemptions as those so licensed.
Cities may, by ordinance, provide maximum limits with respect to the weight,
height, width and length of motor trucks, semitrailer trucks, and trailers, within
their respective boundaries, not less, however, than the maximum limits
prescribed in KRS 189.221 and subsection (1) of 189.222, and may authorize
the operation of trailers.
