We need to construct new weigh stations utilizing the latest technology in order to protect Oklahoma highways and the driving public. Weigh stations are important in reducing the wear and tear of highways due to overweight and oversized trucks. Those that are permited will at least provide revenue to help defray the damage caused by the excess weight. Overweight and oversize trucks are also less safe. The old weigh stations are deteriorated and no longer useful. In addition, they were located to conform with 1950's traffic patterns and need to be placed in better locations. Newer technology will also streamline and facilitate not only the weighing of trucks but provide homeland security possibilities as well.
