N.J. Admin. Code § 16:32-1.1 - Purpose and scope
(a) The New Jersey Department of
Transportation has determined that it is in the public's best interest to
direct the travel of large trucks within New Jersey. Large trucks restricted in
this chapter are double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard
trucks. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the hierarchy of roadways,
upon which double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks
should travel within the State of New Jersey, so as to avoid through-traffic on
local roads. This hierarchy has been established based upon the function of the
roadways and the character of the service they are intended to provide;
balancing the need to protect the safety of the traveling public and the need
to provide the trucking industry with an efficient and economical system of
roadways upon which to travel within New Jersey. The hierarchy of roadways,
setting forth the priority of routes for travel by double-trailer truck
combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks in New Jersey, is as follows:
1. The National Network;
2. The New Jersey Access Network;
3. All other unrestricted roadways within New
Jersey.
(b) Consistent
with the requirements of 23
CFR 658.9, New Jersey's National Network
provides the highest level of mobility facilitating interstate and
interregional travel. The New Jersey Access Network provides connections to the
National Network and facilitates access to terminals. All other local
unrestricted roadways shall be used only to provide access to terminals. This
chapter sets forth the standards and procedures applicable to double-trailer
truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard truck operations within the State
of New Jersey with regard to routes, width restrictions, length requirements,
access to terminals, and network addition or deletion procedures. Reasonable
access shall be permitted to terminals and to facilities for food, fuel,
repairs, and rest.
