Minimum lane width: The minimum lane width is 12 feet (3.7 m), identical to most US and state highways. Shoulder width: The minimum width of the left paved shoulder is 4 feet (1.2 m), and of the right paved shoulder 10 feet (3.0 m). With three or more lanes in each direction, both shoulders are to be at least 10 feet (3.0 m) wide.
It has a turning radius of about 31 m (102 ft). [2] The 75710 is claimed to carry a 450-tonne (440-long-ton; 500-short-ton) load. [3] With an empty weight of 360 tonnes (350 long tons; 400 short tons), it is much heavier than BelAZ's previous largest model, the 7560, which weighed 240 tonnes (240 long tons; 260 short tons) when empty.
Replacing a cylindrical fuel tank with a D-Tank can result in 46% additional fuel capacity. When calculating volume requirements, one would begin by assessing the available space. Once length, width and height restrictions have been ascertained, the easiest method of determining volume is with the use of a truck tank volume calculator.
Circular curves are defined by radius (tightness) and deflection angle (extent). The design of a horizontal curve entails the determination of a minimum radius (based on speed limit), curve length, and objects obstructing the view of the driver. [4] Using AASHTO standards, an engineer works to design a road that is safe and comfortable.
an axle load of more than 10 tonnes for a single non-driving axle and 11.5 tonnes for a single driving axle; a width of more than 2.9 metres; a rigid length of more than 18.65 metres; Anyone wishing to transport an abnormal load must notify the police, highway authorities and any on-route bridge and structure owners such as Network Rail.

TTI HS-20 allowed shorter trucks to have higher weight limits than Formula B. For a 3-axle truck with an axle length of 14 feet (4.3 m), the weight limit increased from 46,500 pounds (21,100 kg) to 54,000 pounds (24,000 kg). [29] TTI HS-20 also failed to address the problem of multiple-span bridges. [28]
There is no federal height limit, and states may set their own limits which range from 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 m) (mostly on the east coast) to 14 feet (4.3 m) (west coast)., [66] As a result, the majority of trucks are somewhere between 13 feet 6 inches (4.11 m) and 14 feet (4.3 m) high.
This allows very tight turning radius for the overall length of the truck. The low cab also lets a boom operate over it. There is an available right-side driving position. Commonly a 6x4 (3 axles, 2 powered) tandem steer front and extra lift axles are available. Total loaded weight can be up to 81,000 pounds (37,000 kg) on three or more axles.
