Abstract:To facilitate cross-border traffic, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calls for harmonization of truck standards among the trade partners. Combined with the desire of U.S. industry to reduce freight costs, this aspect of NAFTA has stimulated interest in how liberalization of truck size and weight limits in the U.S. would affect highway infrastructure and safety. This summary report distills the findings from the relevant literature, to which a major recent addition was the Comprehensive Truck Size and Weight Study prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation (2000).
