Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. ORS 818.010 is amended to read:
818.010. This section establishes maximum weight limitations
for purposes of ORS 818.020. Except { + as provided in
subsection (4) of this section or + } where an exemption under
ORS 818.030 specifically provides otherwise, a loaded weight that
exceeds the maximum allowable weight as determined by any of the
following tables exceeds the maximum weight limitations or
purposes of ORS 818.020:
(1) A vehicle exceeds the maximum allowable weight if the
loaded weight of an axle or tandem axle is in excess of that
determined by the formula in the following table:
_________________________________________________________________
Table I
600 pounds X the sum of the tire widths, in inches, of the
wheels of the axle or tandem axles = maximum allowable weight.
_________________________________________________________________
For purposes of the table in this subsection tire width is
determined by measuring the cross section of the tread of a
wheel, the outer face of a track or the runner of a sled except
for the following:
(a) For solid tires made of elastic material, tire width is
determined by measuring the cross section between the flanges of
the circumference of a wheel at the base of the tire as
customarily measured and rated by the manufacturers of motor
vehicles and tires.
(b) For pneumatic tires made of elastic material, tire width is
the diameter of the cross section of the tire as customarily
measured and rated by the manufacturers of motor vehicles and
tires.
(2) A vehicle or combination of vehicles exceeds the maximum
allowable weight if the loaded weight measured at any of the
places designated on the following table exceeds the maximum
allowable weight established on the table for measurement at that
place:
