Action:
Repeal regulation due to availability of reduced weight limits on the VDOT website
Action 3257
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Notice of Reduction of Weight Limits (Posted Structures Report M-50) is authorized pursuant to a specific grant of authority, § 46.2-1104 of the Code of Virginia. This statute authorizes the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner to “prescribe the weight, width, height, length, or speed of any vehicle or combination of vehicles passing over any highway or section of highway or bridge constituting a part of the interstate, primary, or secondary system of highways.” It further authorizes the Commissioner to limit these dimensions beyond what is prescribed by statute subject to the findings of an engineering study. Any such reduction of limits is required to be kept on file at the Virginia Department of Transportation. This file constitutes the Posted Structures Report. The Posted Structures Report is available in VDOT’s Highway Traffic Records Information System (HTRIS) and can be updated and produced at any time. To provide public access to the report, a posted structures list file can be downloaded directly from the Dashboard on VDOT's website. The Dashboard information is updated nightly and provides essentially the same information as the Posted Structures Report. Therefore, VDOT believes that the regulation can be repealed.
