Section 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: 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.N.J. Admin. Code § 16:32-1.1
