Section 1025.7 - Inspection of vehicle load

(a) The presence in the Queens Midtown Tunnel, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, or on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Lower Level, of a vehicle loaded with any hazardous material, or a tank vehicle which last contained a hazardous material, is likely to endanger persons or property and render the use of said facilities unsafe. Therefore, no such vehicle shall be allowed in or upon said facilities unless it shall conform to these rules and regulations, in addition to all other rules and regulations established for the use of these facilities. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials which are prohibited on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Lower Level may be permitted to use the lower level only when directed to do so by the facility supervisor or his authorized representative.

(b) Any vehicle whose load includes, or is believed by any employee of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority to include, any hazardous material shall be subject to inspection prior to entering either the Queens Midtown Tunnel, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel or the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Lower Level, in order to determine whether such entry would be in violation of these rules and regulations.

(c) No vehicle loaded with a hazardous material shall enter said facilities unless the driver shall first exhibit, to any employee of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, a bill of lading or other shipping paper describing such article by the specific name by which it is known in the "List of Hazardous Materials" contained in part 172.101 of the U.S.D.O.T. regulations or as required by the regulations under this Part.
