Exempts certain oversized vehicles from requirement of additional escort vehicle if transported load is property illuminated during nighttime.
This bill exempts certain oversized vehicles with special permits from needing an additional escort vehicle during nighttime travel (sunset to sunrise) if their load is illuminated with lights visible from 1,000 feet in all directions. It directly affects commercial trucking companies transporting oversized loads that require special permits under New Jersey law. The key provision replaces the standard nighttime escort requirement with a lighting standard, allowing operators to avoid the extra escort cost and coordination when meeting the visibility threshold. The change applies immediately to vehicles already permitted under existing regulations.
