Overweight Trucks * USA - Target of new tools of detection
A detour to avoid the Kittery station may include buried scales that trip a camera
Kittery,Maine,USA -The Maine Business, by BETH QUIMBY -September 20, 2009: -- Operators of overweight trucks who hope to dodge weight inspections on Interstate 95 by taking a detour on side roads may be in for a rude surprise later this fall... Cameras and other equipment have been installed that will allow state police to intercept drivers of overloaded trucks who exit the highway to avoid the southbound weigh station at mile 5 in Kittery. When the weigh station is open, buried scales on Route 1 in York and Route 236 in Eliot that detect an overweight truck will trigger cameras that send a photograph of the offending truck to troopers who can then apprehend the evaders... (Photo by John Patriquin - A camera mounted on a pole along Route 236 in Eliot can record an image of an overweight truck if it trips a scale buried in the roadbed. Route 236 is popular with truckers who want to avoid inspections. The truck in this photo was not in violation of Maine’s weight limits)Labels: overweight trucks
