I'm probably throwing myself under the bus here, but I've been through Gettysburg twice with a 53' and don't recall seeing any length restriction signs(however it was dark and raining both times). Not to mention I saw a number of others trucks doing the same thing. There are a couple of round-a-bouts but there is plenty of room to clear the curbs.

If the restriction does exist, I'll consider myself lucky and avoid the area until I get a clarification.

Front of the Rand MCA has it listed as a restriction. There are signs posted. They will nail you hard if caught.

It definitely existed, with posted signs, the last time I was up there. I don't know what might have changed since then, but I'd be surprised if anything has.

Although I wasn't able to check back here before I made my delivery that is the way I decided to go, turns out my exit was 12 miles north of York on I-83, but it's still considered York. lol. Thanks guys.

I drove US 322 coming from Harrisburg going up to I80 yesterday evening. That was one beautiful drive. PA is a beautiful state all around.

I guess I am throwing myself under the bus as well, i rolled through there with a 53 footer myself, saw the signs to late like the other poster said....but i gotta say, they must not crack down on it to hard or there are just a lot of people that dont care because i was accompanied by several other trucks going in both directions with not a single one being pulled over. I was in Gettysburg in my car with my wife just 3 weeks ago as well and noticed a few trucks passing right through..... i dont recomend just ignoring signs and doing whatever you want, I'm just saying that by my observations and experiences there, that restriction is not observed very well by many drivers.

just a question, what is the bypass like? Or is it even considered a bypass?
