According to the proposed bill, a number of factors would determine which roads would be impacted. They include roads on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, as well as being outside of an urbanized area with a population of at least fifty-thousand people, but there would also be weight restrictions.
The bill was authored by State Representatives Ben Smaltz and Chris Judy.
