BILL NUMBER:S391
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.
