Summary

Revises state vehicle laws governing heavy weight port corridor permits.

n

Issue

Streamlines Marylands heavy weight port corridor permit program by removing the requirement that authorized travel routes be established by regulation and instead allowing routes to be specified directly on individual permits. Maintains existing weight, axle, speed, and routing restrictions for overweight vehicles carrying sealed international freight containers between the Seagirt Marine Terminal and authorized destinations. Enable MDOT to adjust routes more quickly in response to closures or construction.
