impact guard. The applicant has

contacted a British manufacturer of a

retractable rear impact guard but the

information received to date does not

look encouraging. If an exemption is

granted, the applicant will continue to

explore the feasibility of a retractable

rear guard that allows connection with

a paver.

The applicant believes that an

exemption would be in the public

interest and consistent with traffic

safety objectives because the Flow Boy

aids in the construction of the national

road system. It spends very little of its

operating life on the highway and the

likelihood of its being involved in a

rear-end collision is minimal. In

addition, the design of the Flow Boy is

such that the rear tires act as a buffer

and reduce the likelihood of impact

with the trailer.

described above. Comments should refer
