(a) Double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks are permitted to operate in New Jersey only to the extent and under the conditions authorized by the rules in this chapter.
(b) Double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks must complete all trips using the National Network, but may leave the National Network in order to seek access to terminals pursuant to this chapter.
(c) Double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks may be permitted to detour off the authorized routes only to the extent necessary to bypass road closings, and route restrictions, such as weight or vertical clearance limits. Double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks shall return to the designated network as soon as practicable during a detour movement.
(d) To the extent feasible, a trip to a terminal, or facilities for food, fuel, repairs, and rest, shall avoid residential areas.
(e) The rules of this chapter do not supersede other State rules outside of this chapter, municipal ordinances, and county resolutions, which may otherwise restrict or control the through-movements of trucks or other vehicles. An example of such a restriction is a maximum weight posting or the designation of local "truck route" restrictions that have been adopted and posted as provided at N.J.S.A. 40:67-16.1 et seq.
(f) The maximum width permitted on the routes designated at N.J.A.C. 16:32-1.4(c) and 1.6 is 102 inches, exclusive of mirrors and other safety devices.
