The State of Vermont assents to, approves, and pledges its good faith to meet the
terms of an act of Congress approved July 11, 1916, entitled “An Act To provide that
the United States shall aid the States in the construction of rural post roads, and
for other purposes,” and amendments to the act, including flight strips, and the Agency
is authorized to take such action as may be necessary to secure to the State the aid
and benefits provided by the Act. Whenever the Agency of Transportation determines
that funds otherwise authorized to be appropriated to the State under the Federal
Aid Road Act, as amended and supplemented, shall not be apportioned to the State if
the National System of Interstate Highways within its boundaries may lawfully be used
by vehicles with any dimension or with weight in excess of the maximum corresponding
dimension or the maximum corresponding weight provided for use on these highways in
the Act, as amended and supplemented, the Governor shall so declare by proclamation,
and thereafter these highways shall not lawfully be used by vehicles with any dimension
or with weight in excess of the maximum corresponding dimension or the maximum corresponding
weight so provided. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 1989, No. 246 (Adj. Sess.), § 41.)
