There will be new regulations for the food trucks in Smyrna that bars them from being within 50 feet of restaurants.

In addition, the operators must have $100-thousand in liability insurance.

WBOC reports that Mayor Joanne Masten said the new regulations were designed to protesting existing businesses while still allowing the trucks to operate in the city.

Clint Johnson, who operates a barbecue business form an RV off Route 13, told the television station that he had not problems with the new regulations.

But he noted that in other towns they have led to less friendly atmosphere for the food trucks.
