Leonia, New Jersey, is outlawing out-of-town drivers during rush hour.
Authorities in Leonia, New Jersey, are so tired of out-of-town drivers clogging their streets during rush hour that they're taking what even the police chief acknowledges is "extreme" action: They're outlawing out-of-town drivers at crunch time. Soon, anyone not from Leonia caught driving there between 6 and 10am and 4 and 9pm will face a $200 fine,
Begin here: "The Commerce Clause describes an enumerated power listed in
the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3).
The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power
"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,
and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."
Sounds like a career opportunity for several law firms. Just drive through town with interstate freight and smile when the sheriff gives you a ticket. "Big legal battle ensues"

You do realize that there's a difference between conducting commerce with and driving through a state/city?
So no out of town folks can shop, dine, or get to their job in the town during rush hour? Grandma can't come over to babysit the kids at 7:30 AM like she does everyday? That's not going to fly.
From what ive seen, semi trucks are part of the problem when it comes to heavy traffic. Im not srue why they cannot build them to be more powerful, get them on the slightest grade and they cant maintain the speed limit, that is seriously underpowered imo!
Part of the problem in NJ is too many highway tolls and folks that drive Uber or commercial cars that go through them frequently do not want to pay so they go through neighborhood roads that don't have tolls.

That is why there would be a suit, to prove the point that to restrict travel is to restrict commerce. I'd think this point has been settled at SCOTUS long ago, but IANAL.
I've already spent enough time in New Jersey. I don't want to go back! So I won't be the problem.
