The bill establishes a definition for 'superload' and sets a weight threshold for superload permits, along with conditions for the permits.
-
Section 30A of Chapter 85 of the General Laws
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the weight threshold for determination of a superload shall be those vehicles at or in excess of one hundred and ninety-nine thousand pounds gross vehicle weight. The department shall also implement an application and fee schedule for expedited superload permits authorized under this section. A superload permit may include conditions and terms as determined by the Administrator; provided further, that allowances shall be made for escort flexibility, where practicable, and engineering studies conducted not older than 12 months prior. For purposes of this section, a “superload” is defined as any vehicle or combination of vehicles which exceed 14 feet in width; or 14 feet in height or greater; or greater than 115 feet in length; or 199,000 pounds or greater in gross vehicle weight; or a combination of the above.
This change creates a specific weight threshold and definition for superloads, along with a framework for issuing permits.
