Safety group opposes federal truck weight, size increases

摘要

Washington - The Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety has announced its opposition to any increases in federal truck size and weight limits due to concerns about alleged flaws in an upcoming government study on the increases. A surface transportation funding bill signed into law in July 2012, known as MAP-21, required the Department of Transportation to conduct research within a 24-month period on the safety and infrastructure impacts of allowing heavier and larger trucks on highways. At press time, the study was scheduled for release in November.
