Traffic control: traffic regulation; weight restrictions on electric trucks; modify. Amends sec. 722 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.722).

This bill updates Michigan's vehicle code to clarify and adjust weight limits for trucks, specifically allowing heavier loads on designated highways with strong road surfaces. It establishes specific rules for tandem axle assemblies, permitting up to 16,000 pounds per axle on certain routes and raising this limit to 17,000 pounds for agricultural transport under strict distance and weight conditions. The legislation also creates streamlined processes for farmers and public utility companies to operate without seasonal weight restrictions by obtaining permits or providing advance notice for their trips.
