NEW YORK STATE ISSUES PROPOSED TRUCK ROUTE RESTRICTIONS
On August 26, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYDOT) issued proposed rules governing highway access by large trucks. The notice requests public comments within 45 days. The rules would apply to trucks with trailers 45′ or longer, double 28′ trailers, and various specialized vehicles designated under Federal law. The NYDOT identified seven routes on which the restrictions applied. It also recommended procedures for carriers to use to determine appropriate routes on which to operate; these procedures are advisory only. The seven restricted routes are all in the Finger Lakes region. They include NY Routes 41, 41A, 90, 38, 79, 89 and 96. Trucks may use these routes if they provide exclusive access to a freight terminal, a site for pickup or delivery of goods, or to facilities for food, fuel, service or rest. Trucks may also use these roads as a shortcut if the route is at least 25 miles shorter than the shortest route over a designated truck highway. The NYDOT stated that it proposed the restrictions due to public concern over safety and quality of life in the region.
