Abstract:

Truck size and weight regulations affect the numbers, physical characteristics, load characteristics, and operating capabilities of trucks on highways. These factors affect highway capacity (expressed in terms of the total number of vehicles a facility can handle) and the level of service experienced by highway users. This paper examines these effects. Topics covered include truck speeds on grades; merging, weaving, and lane changing; capacity effects and passenger car equivalents by truck type and grade; marginal costs to other vehicles; signalized intersections; longitudinal barriers; and sign placement.
