BILL NUMBER:S1362 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to extending the maximum length of vehicles PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To extend the maximum length of vehicles to allow some specialized maintenance vehicles the ability to operate without penalty. JUSTIFICATION: In 2003 New York State authorized recreational vehicles (RV's) up to 45 feet in length to travel on highways to aid tourism in the state. However, the law neglected to include professional vehicles that perform routine and important tasks throughout the state. Many citizens depend on the service abilities of these vehicles, which extend past the current allowable length to allow for increased safety and equipment. The current law is out of step with the needs of its citizenry. If untrained recreational drivers are able to legally navigate on state roads, then professionals should be allowed the same allowance.

BILL NUMBER:S1362A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to extending the maximum length of vehicles PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To extend the maximum length of vehicles to allow some specialized maintenance vehicles the ability to operate without penalty. JUSTIFICATION: In 2003 New York state authorized recreational vehicles (RV's) up to 45 feet in length to travel on highways to aid tourism in the state. This bill would allow for specialized delivery vehicles that carry building materials to be a maximum of 45 feet, including 5 feet of overhang, provided that such vehicle was operated by a CDL licensed driver. All of these vehicles, when manufactured, fall under the less than 40 foot rule but become illegal when outfitted with a boom or piggyback. By allowing these vehicles to have the extra overhang, vehicles that are essential to worker safety and critical to the delivery of materials for construction projects will not continue to be subject to unnecessary fines. If untrained recreational drivers are able to legally navigate on state roads, then professionals should be given the same allowance.
