AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to extending
the maximum length of vehicles
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 385 of the vehi-
2 cle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 173 of the laws of 1990, is
3 amended to read as follows:
4 (a) The length of a single vehicle, inclusive of load and bumpers,
5 shall be not more than forty feet unless otherwise provided in this
6 subdivision. For specialized material delivery vehicles, which include
7 articulating boom trucks and piggy-back trucks (flat bed trucks with
8 forklifts or motifs attached), the length of a single vehicle, measured
9 from bumper to bumper, shall not be more than forty feet; however,
10 provided that the operator of the vehicle is a CDL operator, the vehicle
11 can have an additional five feet of overhang, for a total length of no
12 more than forty-five feet. Overhang is defined as the portion of a vehi-
13 cle that extends beyond the rear bumper or the portion of a boom, fork-
14 lift or other device that extends beyond the rear bumper.
15 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
16 have become a law.
