Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to staff of state departments of transportation responsible for highway routing, traffic engineering, traffic operations and signing, and maintenance. It will also be useful to state police, who may also be responsible for routing, and other enforcement personnel, as well as to emergency and fire personnel. The trucking industry will also find the information of value to their operations. Information is presented on the current practices of states for the highway routing of vehicles that transport hazardous materials. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1994 issued Guidelines for Applying Criteria to Designate Routes for Transporting Hazardous Materials, which are used by agencies that elect to designate such routes. This report of the Transportation Research Board is based on information obtained from a survey of states concerning the routing of hazardous materials vehicles that asked respondents to rate the importance of 24 factors in the categories of roadway, environment, population, or other criteria in establishing routing policy. The survey also identified the principal agencies responsible for routing, as well as other agencies that typically participate in the routing plan. Enforcement and cost issues are discussed, as is risk assessment. This report presents a unique discussion of the issues as identified by interviews with trucking trade associations and other organizations involved with hazardous materials transport. In addition, technology applicable to more effective monitoring and enforcement is described. The appendices include commodity flow studies and route designation case studies for selected jurisdictions.

Effects of Federal Regulations and Standards on the Highway Routing of Hazardous Materials

Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
The United States Congress in 1975 established its interest in the safe routing of hazardous materials by passing the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. This act dealt with the packaging, labeling, handling, and transporting of hazardous materials for all transportation modes and established the basis for Federal involvement in the routing of hazardous materials. Subsequent actions by the Department of Transportation (DOT) resulted in the development of regulations and guidelines for the safe routing of high levels of radioactive materials. The DOT then turned its attention to the safe routing of nonradioactive materials. While the DOT was advancing its proposed rule, Congress developed and passed the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act of 1990 (HMTUSA). This act was fairly extensive and specific about the future role of the Federal government in the routing of nonradioactive hazardous materials. It identified specific standards and factors that States would be responsible for if they established, administered, or enforced highway routing of nonradioactive materials. The development of these statutory requirements into a regulation and the anticipated effect of this regulation are discussed in this paper. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 863140.
