Measure to get overweight trucks off BQE moves closer to reality
From brooklyneagle.com
A high-tech, motion-sensing system that senses the weight of trucks without a physical inspection will hopefully get many overweight trucks off the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, especially the fragile triple-cantilever section underneath the famed Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
The Brooklyn Heights Association, in its newsletter, highlighted bills sponsored last year by local Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon and Senator Brian Kavanagh (A2316A and S2740B, respectively) to establish a pilot program that uses weigh-in-motion systems to enforce restrictions on overweight trucks on the BQE.
