I just check the GPS HazMat route and the National HazMat Route Registry. I wish the NHRR was easier to decode on a smartphone. Also try Googling hazmat route and state. The NY Port Authority has a concise online handbook covering what HM is allowed/prohibited on the Port Authority bridges and tunnels.
Don't forget several states require all HazMat loads to enter open weigh stations despite what your electronic doo-dad says about bypass. I think the AZ fine for bypassing the scale with a HM load is $600.

I have prepass but if I'm not certain what the state requires I will go through the scale. This approach hasn't failed me yet.

If you have 1,001 pounds or more of any Hazmat, you are required to place placards on your trailers and you are required to follow all approved Hazmat Routes.
that's it in a nutshell. Don't over think it.
Placarded = Hazmat = Hazmat Approved Routes Only.
Not Placarded = No Hazmat = Any route you choose unless otherwise directed by DOT/Law Enforcement or your Safety Department.
Exceptions are some tunnels such as Baltimore and Norfolk which don't allow any hazmat in any quanity of any kind whether you are placarded or not (as stated above).
Note: If you have any bins or totes, you must placard regardless of weight/quanity. Bins and Totes all need a UN # Placard (e.g. 3123) and any other applicable such as Liquid Flammables, Explosives, Corrosives, etc.Last edited: Jul 11, 2021

119 gal tip the Tank endorsement not placards. 250 gal totes of non-has latex paint would require tank but no placards.
