Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Currently, the Department of Transportation requires heavy vehicles weighing over 80,000 pounds to use specific flashing amber warning lights. This bill would change that rule so these heavy vehicles no longer have to use those lights just because of how much they weigh. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

Pursuant to Code section 321E.24, the department of transportation (DOT) adopted administrative rules regarding oversize load signs, warning flags, warning lights, and projecting-load lights (761 IAC 511.18(3)). The DOT’s rules require vehicles longer than feet but not longer than 120 feet, vehicles with a front projection over feet, vehicles with a rear projection over feet, and vehicles weighing over 80,000 pounds to display a flashing or strobe amber light that is visible for at least 500 feet and provides 360-degree warning, which light must be mounted on the towing unit and be visible from the front and rear. This bill provides that vehicles exceeding 80,000 pounds are not required to display warning lights based on the vehicle’s weight.
