Co-Sponsors:  Luetkenhaus, O'Connor

This bill sets the speed limit for trucks weighing over 27 tons,
including load, at 65 miles per hour.  The Department of
Transportation will have the authority to designate truck travel
lanes for trucks weighing over 27 tons when there are 3 or more
lanes of travel in the same direction.  Such trucks will be
allowed to travel outside of such lanes when passing or when
preparing to make a proper left turn or when directed by a
traffic sign or signal.

The commercial zone for St. Louis City is extended to include
the counties of St. Charles, Jefferson, and Franklin.
