The Automobile & Tractor-Trailer Collision engineers at Qforensics are frequently retained to determine if the design, construction, or maintenance of roadways contributed to the cause of motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, or other injuries. Our team also investigates a number of other special factors, such as truck route designations.
Designated truck route systems are designed to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of goods while reducing the risk of accidents, damage to infrastructure, minimizing pavement maintenance, and promoting compatible land uses. They often avoid areas where large trucks could be a danger to pedestrians and infrastructure, such as congested city centers and narrow residential areas. Systems like this are used for the following:
- Designated truck route: A street or roadway designated by the Traffic Engineer upon which through travel by trucks is permitted.
- Prohibited route: A street or roadway that is not a designated truck route.
- Restricted route: A street or roadway upon which travel is limited to vehicles or loads of certain weight or size.
Accident reconstruction is just the beginning. Our experienced engineers will examine potential violations of existing ordinances, including the truck route system in the area where a tractor-trailer incident occurred. Have a case where truck route compliance may have been an issue? Contact the experts at Qforensics or submit your case online.
