The Director is authorized to designate certain trucking terminals
as Interstate Truck terminals and certain County highways or parts
thereof as terminal access routes for Interstate Trucks, in accordance
with
Vehicle Code Section 35401.5, as follows:
1. As
used in this chapter "Interstate Truck" shall mean a combination of
vehicles as described in
Vehicle Code Section 35401.5 and not exceeding
the lengths set forth therein, and "terminal" shall have the meaning
specified in
Vehicle Code Section 35401.5.
2. Any
interested person desiring an access route to an Interstate Truck
terminal facility from the federally designated highway system shall
submit to the Director an application, on a form as provided by the
Director, together with such information as may be required by the
Director and appropriate fees.
3. The
Director will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain whether
or not the proposed terminal facility meets the requirements for an
Interstate Truck terminal. Upon his approval of that designation,
he will then determine the capability of the route requested and alternate
routes, whether requested or not. Determination of route capability
will include, without limitation, a review of adequate turning radius
and lane widths of ramps, intersections and highways and general traffic
conditions such as sight distance, speed and traffic volumes. No access
off a federally designated highway system will be approved without
the approval of the State of California Department of Transportation.
4. Should
the requested route pass through the unincorporated area of the County
of Sacramento to a terminal located in another jurisdiction, the applicant
shall submit proof of compliance with that jurisdiction's application
process. Coordination of the approval of the route through the County
will be the responsibility of the entity which controls the terminal's
land use.
(SCC 620 § 1, 1985)
The Director may revoke any approved Interstate Truck terminal
or access route if the terminal or route becomes hazardous for vehicular
traffic. Such a hazard includes, but is not limited to, the inability
of Interstate Trucks to negotiate the route or said vehicles causing
unsafe driving conditions for other vehicular traffic or pedestrians.
If the route designation is revoked within 3 years after establishment,
the County will reimburse the applicant for his actual costs of signing
and reconstruction.
(SCC 620 § 1, 1985)
Except as expressly permitted by law, no person shall drive
an Interstate Truck upon any County highway not designated for such
purpose.
