Regulación del ancho de autobuses y trolebuses en Carolina del Sur

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que en algunas ciudades de Carolina del Sur, se pueden usar autobuses y trolebuses que tengan un ancho máximo de 2.59 metros. Sin embargo, si van a usar las carreteras del estado, necesitan un permiso especial del Departamento de Transporte.

Es como si en tu barrio permitieran que los camiones grandes entren, pero solo si tienen un pase especial que verifique que pueden pasar por las calles sin problema.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que en la ciudad de Springfield, el alcalde decide permitir que los trolebuses anchos circulen por las calles. Antes de que puedan comenzar a operar, el Departamento de Transporte revisa y aprueba su ruta para asegurarse de que no causarán problemas en el tráfico.

SECTION 56-5-4040. Width of motor buses and trolley coaches; local ordinances. Incorporated cities and municipalities may by ordinance permit the operation within their respective jurisdictions of any motor bus or trolley coach with a maximum outside width of not to exceed one hundred and two inches. But in the case of state highways within incorporated cities no such permit shall become effective until approved by the Department of Transportation. All such permits shall specify the streets or sections of streets over which such trolley coaches may be operated.

The Department of Transportation with respect to the state highways and local authorities with respect to other highways, may issue permits for the operation of motor buses and trolley coaches, having a lateral outside width of not exceeding one hundred and two inches upon any highway, route or routes of sufficient width in suburban areas adjacent to municipalities.
