Bill > S02030

This bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to conduct a comprehensive study within 120 days to identify parkway entrances most frequently accessed by oversized commercial vehicles. Following the study, the department must install physical barriers within one year to prevent or impede these vehicles from entering parkway entrances. The bill defines "commercial motor vehicle" by referencing existing vehicle and traffic law, specifically focusing on vehicles that exceed the height clearance of bridges on special parkways. The department is authorized to request relevant information and data from other state agencies to support its study, with the understanding that such information will maintain its original confidentiality requirements. By implementing these barriers, the bill aims to enhance road safety and prevent large commercial vehicles from using parkways that are not designed for their size and weight.
