Geometry-related effects of changes in truck size and weight regulations include a diverse set of highway design elements related to virtually every aspect of vehicle design and operation. The turning, stopping, acceleration, hill-climbing, and other characteristics of trucks determine their ability to conform to the geometric design of existing highways. Changes in these characteristics may also affect the adoption of new geometric design standards used in the construction of highways and in the reconstruction of existing highways to provide better harmony between roadway and vehicle characteristics.
