Current through June 17, 2024
011.01 The Director has determined that
  circumstances exist to make the issuance of Conditional Interstate Use Permits
  for divisible loads exceeding 80,000 pounds on the National System of
  Interstate and Defense Highways (Interstate) within the State of Nebraska
  necessary. The Interstate provides the safest, efficient, least congested
  direct route for movement of such loads across the state. In making such
  determination, the Director has considered the following conditions on the
  Interstate System:
011.02A The Interstate is
  designed and maintained to standards to be more conducive to safe and efficient
  transportation than alternative state and county roads.
011.02B The Interstate is designed to handle
  traffic volumes that are more conducive to safe and efficient transportation
  than alternative state and county roads.
011.02C Public safety is enhanced by
  authorizing vehicles with a total gross weight of up to 95,000 pounds to travel
  on the Interstate in Nebraska.
