US6 near Eagle

Even with all the Illinois ones mentioned, I think we're still missing US-14 north of Harvard.

Kentucky has a new one on US 23 northbound at the Floyd/Johnson county line. It was originally set up for portable scales for coal trucks, but a new permanent facility was built that also serves as an office for Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement.

(In Maryland) - US-50 WB / US-301 SB has one right after crossing the Bay Bridge.
I always thought it a little odd.... it seems like it could be more useful before crossing the massive bridge.

In Southern California, there's one at the top of the Conejo Grade on both sides of US 101. I mainly see it open going WB/NB because that's where drivers have to descend at an 8% grade down into Camarillo. I don't remember a time when it was open for EB/SB traffic.

Illinois has another US 67 south of IL 9 jct.
There is a portable area on the Monmouth bypass.
I suspect There are more potable sites. Look for extra wife shoulders.

[kphoger]

Look for extra wife shoulders.

Are those the shoulders on an extra wife?  Or are they extra shoulders on the wife I already have?

Here are those in Florida.

And that's not even a complete list. I know of some along US 98 northwest of Brooksville, and FL 40 west of FL 19.

UPDATE; MARCH 2, 2024; FYI, the list incorrectly names FL 60 as "US 60."

Another Illinois example is on US 24/52 just after entering from Indiana

Wisconsin has three off interstates: US-61/151 near Dickeyville, US-2 near Superior, and US-41/141 near Abrams. I believe they had a couple more but have since closed them - for instance I recall one near Plymouth on WI-57 and one further north on US-51.

I'm guessing this was the site of the Plymouth weigh station, by the look of it. It seems to have been abandoned for a while.

Like in the mid 80s when shoulder pads were in fashion?

If you exit off US 41 south just entering Illinois from Wisconsin, you swill encounter a weigh station: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wPq6r3RS4bBDa93K7

There is also a truck scale on NB I-41 by Wrightstown, WI.   it and its looong abandoned counterpart of the southbound side of the highway significantly predated the highway's promotion to I-41.  I don't yet know if it it planned to survive the pending six-lane upgrade project.  Every now and then it is open and weighing and it was rehabbed in a highway upgrade project in about 2000.

^^ I believe I read that weigh station is going to be replaced with a modern station at that location.

And another on US-30 between IL-394 and the Indiana State Line: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4i9VQpbdV8jW6FjR6

Delaware has one on US 13 northbound near Smyrna, but it never seems to be open.  There are signs and lights on DE 1 northbound directing trucks to get off and use it if it is open.

[jmacswimmer]

There's one on US 301 north of Upper Marlboro, MD (both sides).  Don't think I've ever seen it open.

Also, keep going south on US 301 and there's this one near Dahlgren VA.

Continuing the US 301 theme: There's also a pair on either side of the MD/DE border (SB in Maryland, NB in Delaware).

The SB one is interesting in that the ramp into the weigh station crosses Sassafras Rd at grade, resulting in stop signs placed on Sassafras Rd (which most traffic slowly rolls thru - I've never actually had to stop for a truck whenever I've driven thru there).

Illinois has one near Sheldon on US24. There's also this one on US30: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5069689,-87.5552397,382m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

There are also ones on US-24 and US-30.

[kphoger]

There's another one on US-30, near IL-251, which incidentally was in operation when the Google car drove by:

Yep.

Minnesota:
US 10/169 near Ramsey (located in the median)
US 2 just west of TH 33 in St. Louis County
US 2 near Erskine in Polk County

[kphoger]

Minnesota has a couple on US2. One east of Erskine and another west of Duluth.

Delaware has one on US 13 northbound near Smyrna, but it never seems to be open.  There are signs and lights on DE 1 northbound directing trucks to get off and use it if it is open.

There is a virtual weigh station on northbound DE 1 just south of the North Smyrna exit, trucks with issues are directed to the weigh station on US 13 for additional screening. I imagine the virtual weigh station on DE 1 has significantly reduced the need for the weigh station on US 13, especially given most trucks are using DE 1 instead of US 13.

In Southern California, there's one at the top of the Conejo Grade on both sides of US 101. I mainly see it open going WB/NB because that's where drivers have to descend at an 8% grade down into Camarillo. I don't remember a time when it was open for EB/SB traffic.

I travel the Conejo Grade regularly, and I have seen both of those stations opened fairly often.

There's also a set on CA 118 between Somis and Simi Valley, but it's rarely if ever open - mostly serving to try to deter trucks from using CA 118 merely to avoid the weigh station on 101.

Farther north, there is a pair of weigh stations on US 101 near Gilroy.

[Beeper1]

There's one on MA-8 in Cheshire.  Only one in MA that I am aware of on a non-controlled access road.

For non-interstate freeways, there's one on MA-146 NB in Uxbridge in the old rest area.  One on MA-2 WB near Athol, and another on MA-2 WB near Gardner (not sure why two so close together going the same direction, not that it matters as they are never open.)

In RI, there is a set on US-6 EB and WB in Scituate just west of the RI-101 split.  Also a set on RI-146 in North Smithfield.

[SSR_317]

Arizona has a couple. One is on future I-11 northwest of Kingman.

Are you referring to the Arizona Port of Entry, located at the interchange (exit 67) between US 93 (future I-11) and SR 68? That covers southbound (and EB SR 68) commercial traffic entering the state. But there are also two northbound US 93 locations where signed weigh stations (with no permanent facilities) exist, one at Milepost 61, and another just south of the entrance to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area near Householder Pass at Milepost 17.
