LONGER TRUCKS * USA - House panel OKs 53 foots trailers
Raleigh,NC,USA -News & Observer, by Bruce Siceloff -26 June 2008: -- A House committee today changed a bill to preserve the state Department of Transportation's power to make some highways off-limits to long tractor-trailer rigs... Safety advocates had warned that the bill passed by the Senate last week would allow trucks with 53-foot-long trailers to travel on narrow, winding roads where DOT has banned them as too dangerous. The Senate bill would have allowed a committee of legislators to veto DOT proposals to add more roads to the banned list... The House Transportation Committee changed the bill to require only that DOT notify the legislative committee when it restricts 53-foot trailers from other roads in the future...
