WHAT IS A BULB OUT?

NCHRP 505 Review of Truck Characteristics as Factors in Roadway Design WB-50 Truck makes up about 8% of truck fleet on the highway system Trucks larger than a WB-62 represent more than 65% of truck fleet Report recommends removing the WB-50 from future editions of AASHTO’s Green Book
