Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2351, sub-§4, as enacted by PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. A, §2 and affected by Pt. B, §5, is amended to read:

4. Interstate Highway System. "The Interstate Highway System" has the same definition as in the United States Highway Act of 1956, except that it does not include that portion of the Maine Turnpike designated Interstate 95 and 495 and that portion of Interstate 95 from the southern terminus of the Maine Turnpike to the New Hampshire state line.

SUMMARY

This bill clarifies that commercial vehicle weight limits applied generally on the highways of the State are also applied on the Maine Turnpike and certain portions of Interstate 95; this is accomplished by excluding the Maine Turnpike and certain portions of Interstate 95 from the definition of "Interstate Highway System." This bill makes Maine law consistent with federal law.
