The study examines six general classes of truck regulations in terms of their impacts on urban freeway safety and traffic operations. The truck restrictions and regulatory practices examined were: (1) Lane restrictions; (2) Time-of-day restrictions; (3) Speed restrictions; (4) Route restrictions; (5) Driver licensing and certification programs; and (6) Increased enforcement of existing regulations. Of the six classes of regulations examined, only two appear capable of producing any substantial improvement in the safety and operational aspects of truck usage of urban freeways in Texas. Reduced speed limits, either for all vehicles or trucks only, appear to merit consideration on a trial basis. In terms of long-term actions, the areas of driver licensing/training and incident management techniques should be emphasized.
