摘要: There is no available measurement of weight limit compliance sufficiently comprehensive to permit determination of actual penalty effectiveness within different States. The approach used for this study was to conduct discussions with enforcement officials in nine States - diversified by geography, fine severity, roadside enforcement practice and adjudication system — on whether their penalty imposition is considered to be effective. The basic question of whether State penalization is inducing satisfactory operator compliance behavior could not be answered definitively. However, the enforcement authorities commonly considered that there are persistent compliance problems < mi secondary roads and in local bulk trucking. This suggests the potential value of enforcement efforts targeted at these sectors, which arc not amenable to economical surveillance by permanent, fixed-site weigh stations. One promising approach appears to be expansion of the practice, already noted as being underway in three of the nine Study States, of analyzing data output from their “ non-enforcement" weigh-in-motion equipment So as to efficiently deploy their available mobile truck weight enforcement personnel
