What it does

Addresses bridge-clearance information intended to help commercial drivers avoid bridge strikes and routing problems. These may look like local traffic issues, but for an interstate carrier operating through dozens of states, the accumulation of different state requirements matters.

Full title: Requires the department of transportation to provide a list of legal clearance heights for bridges to owners or operators of trucks, commercial vehicles, tractors, tractor-trailer combinations, tractor-semitrailer combinations, or tractor-trailer-semitrailer combinations.
