Abstract

SIZE AND WEIGHT STANDARDS FOR TRUCKS REFLECT THE STATE OF ROAD AND BRIDGE DESIGN AS OF 1946. IN THE MEANTIME, CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES HAVE IMPROVED AND THE RELATION OF GROSS WEIGHT TO AXLE DISTRIBUTION AND TRUCK DIMENSIONS HAS BEEN CLARIFIED. SINCE THE ECONOMIES OF MANY STATES ARE PROBABLY TIED MORE CLOSELY TO TRUCK TRANSPORTATION THAN TO ANY OTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO BRING NATIONAL AND STATE STANDARDS IN LINE WITH EXISTING CONDITIONS. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION IN THIS REGARD ARE DESCRIBED AND SUPPORTED.
