Regulations * USA - Princeton considers taking on the big trucks

Local enforcement of regulations under review while towns await state action

NJ,USA -Packet on line, by Nick Norlen -November 2, 2007: -- While Princeton awaits a decision from the state Department of Transportation on its request to exclude a number of local roadways from the New Jersey Access Network, those concerned about the presence of large trucks are seeking a more immediate measure — local police enforcement... The exclusion request from township and borough officials came in February after a federal court ruled that regulations restricting 102-inch-wide and double-trailer trucks with no New Jersey destination or origin from entering the network unconstitutionally violated interstate commerce... The ruling was followed by new state rules for the truck network, which is composed of state and county roadways that can be legally used by large trucks... Since then, local officials have cited concerns about safety and the potential degradation of the environment and sensitive historical properties along the routes...
