Abstract:The purpose of this guide is to provide assistance to local highway jurisdictions when evaluating requests to increase weight allowances on local roadways for trucks up to 129,000-pounds. The guide has been prepared by the University of Idaho’s National Institute for Advanced Transportation Technology (NIATT) to provide guidance local highway jurisdictions when evaluating 129,000-pound route requests in compliance with Idaho Code 49-1004A (1) which states “the authority having jurisdiction may designate routes … for vehicles not exceeding … 129,000-pounds, utilizing criteria established by the board based upon road and bridge structural integrity and engineering standards”. Each section of this guide covers one of the following four categories used to evaluate route requests: 1) Offtracking; 2) Bridges and Culverts; 3) Pavement and Gravel Roads; 4) Crash Data and Safety Evaluation. Before a route request is approved, the conditions in all four must be met and satisfied.
