Bill > HB616

This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle transportation law to expand the authorized travel periods for oversized or overweight vehicles with special permits. Specifically, the bill removes the previous limitation that such permitted vehicles could only travel from sunrise to sunset, and instead allows them to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with some potential exceptions that are not fully detailed in the provided text. The change would provide more flexibility for commercial and specialized transportation that requires vehicles exceeding standard size and weight limits. The bill will take effect 60 days after enactment, giving transportation companies and regulators time to adjust to the new guidelines. By eliminating time-of-day restrictions, the bill could potentially improve efficiency for industries that rely on oversize or overweight vehicle transportation, such as construction, agriculture, and logistics.
