1994 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 46.2-1142 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 46.2-1142. Overweight permits for concrete haulers.
The Commonwealth Transportation Board and local authorities of cities and
towns, in their respective jurisdictions, upon written application made by
the owner or operator, shall issue overweight permits for operation of
certain vehicles used to haul concrete. Permits under this section shall be
issued only for three-axle vehicles used exclusively for the mixing of
concrete in transit or at a project site or for transporting necessary
components in a compartmentalized vehicle to produce concrete immediately
upon arrival at a project site. Any vehicle operating under a permit issued
pursuant to this section shall have a gross weight of no more than 60,000
pounds, a single axle weight of no more than 20,000 pounds, and a tandem axle
weight of no more than 40,000 pounds. Such permits shall be issued without
cost. No such permit shall authorize the operation of the vehicles
enumerated in this section for a distance of more than twenty-five miles from
a batching plant. Such permit shall not designate the route to be
traversed nor contain restrictions or conditions not applicable to other
vehicles in their general use of the highways.
Each vehicle, when loaded according to the provisions of a permit issued under this section, shall be operated at a reduced speed. The reduced speed limit is to be ten miles per hour slower than the legal speed limit in fifty-five, forty-five and thirty-five miles per hour speed limit zones.
