    Trucks are only limited to 8 tons on the decending(southbound)side of 52.

    I assumed it was due to poor road maintenance by the VDOT confederates.

    No, it's because of the steep grade and the availability of a better route (I-77
    and I-74) that allows trucks to bypass that grade and the city of Mt. Airy as well. There used to be a runaway truck ramp on US 52 southbound, but it's been allowed to revert back to nature because of the truck ban.
