Question about STAA highlighted routes in rand McNally atlas

Nuh..
Nuh.

 

look up a legal route that you know of -- which also has a low clearance or restricted bridge weight. the orange highlight will be there. Rand doesn't know whether you're 12 ft or 13'6, or if you're 34k ,, or 80k.

 

STAA = 13'6" tall, 8.5' wide, a 53' trailer, and no limit to the tractor length.

 

sorry, but STAA does NOT regulate height. from http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/size_regs_final_rpt/index.htm#cmv

There is no Federal vehicle height requirement for CMVs. Thus, States may set their own height restrictions. Most height limits range from 13 feet, 6 inches (4.11 meters) to 14 feet (4.27 meters), with exceptions granted for lower clearance on particular roads.

The STAA authorized the establishment of a "National Network" for trucks where Federal width and length limits would apply.

 

I challenge you to find 1 STAA route with less than 13'6" clearance.

 

Buckeye91 did say STAA route, but he also said RM highlighted routes. Are both one and the same?

If so, I do know that OH-183 in alliance, OH is highlighted in the RM. And I've seen countless trucks stuck under a bridge there.

 

The MCRA also has a section on restrictions such as low clearances.

[h=3]NATIONAL NETWORK[/h]The STAA authorized the establishment of a "National Network" for trucks where Federal width and length limits would apply. It includes the Interstate System and other designated highways which, on June 1, 1991, were a part of the Federal-Aid Primary System in effect at that time. The NN now totals over 321,890 kilometers (km) (200,000 miles) of highways across the Nation. The non-Interstate NN highways are listed in 23 CFR Part 658, appendix A.

there are over 30 pages of them listed within the front of the atlas.
