Under the Construction and Use Regulations, 1969, the maximum axle load permitted on commercial vehicles varies from 9 to 11 tons depending on the type of vehicle and the arrangement of its axles and wheels. However, at the sites where the Laboratory has full-scale pavement design experiments, a significant number of vehicles have axle loads exceeding these limits. To see what types of vehicle were being overloaded, each electronic weighbridge was used to trigger a camera and photograph any moving vehicle having an axle load exceeding 12.5 tons (12.7 Mg).
