Summary
Amends law to become consistent with federal weight limits for gross vehicle weight and axle loads..
Issue
Hawaii currently enforces 23 C.F.R. part 658 weight limits on the island of Oahu via section 29l35(2), HRS. A different weight limit is enforced on the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai via section 29l35(3), HRS. The proposal is a statewide simplification for the weight limits to be enforced throughout
the State. The intent of the proposal is to minimize premature deterioration or failure of the State's infrastructures.
