<br />vehicle, nor exceed, for pneumatic tires, 38,000 pounds plus an additional 900 pounds
<br />for each foot of spacing between tile front axle and tile rcarmost axle of the vehicle; nor
<br />shall tile weight of vehicle and load imposed upon the road surface by any vehicle exceed,
<br />for pneumatic tires 78,000 pounds; nor shall such weight of vehicle and load exceed, for
<br />solid tires eighty percent of thc permissible weight of vehicle and load as provided for
<br />pneumatic tires. In this section tile word "vehicle" means any single vehicle when not
<br />in combination, or any combination of vehicles, as defined ill Ohio R.C. 4501.01.
<br /> In the determination of weights under this section by a scale other than a compact,
<br />self-contained, portable sealed scale specially adapted to determining the wheel loads
<br />of highway vehicles, a weight is not unlawful unless it exceeds the weights provided
<br />in this section plus three percent to compensate for possible weighing inaccuracy.
<br /> If the provisions of this section are held to exceed the weight limitations, or other
<br />provisions set forth in Section 127, "Federal Aid Ilighway .act of 1958," 72 Stat. 902 (1958)
<br />23 U. S. C. 127, this section shall become nul1 and void to the extent of such inconsistency.

<br />pounds when such vehicle is equipped with pneumatic tires. The maximum wheel load of
<br />any one wheel of any such vehicle shall not exceed 650 pounds per inch width of tire mea-
<br />sured as prescribed by law, nor shall any solid tire of rubber or other resilient material
<br />on any wheel of any such vehicle be less than one inch thick when measured from the top
<br />of tile flanges of thc tire channel.
<br /> Thc weight of the vehicle and load imposed upon thc roa(I surface by any two succes-
<br />sive axles, spaced four feet or less apart, and weighed simultaneously, shall not exceed,
<br />for solid tires, 19,000 pounds, nor exceed for pneumatic tires, 24,000 pounds; or by any
<br />two successive axles, spaced more than four feet but less than eight feet apart, and weighed
<br />simultaneously, shall not exceed 24,000 pounds for solid tires; or by any two successive
<br />axles, spaced more than four feet apart and weighed simult~mcously, 34,000 pounds, plus
<br />1,000 pounds per Ibot, or fraction thereof, over' four feet, shall not exceed 40,000 pounds
<br />for pneumatic tires; or by any two successive axles, spaced eight feet or more apart, shall
<br />not exceed 28,000 pounds for solid rubber tires; or by any three successive load-bearing.
<br />axles designed to equalize thc load between such axles and spaced so that each such axle
<br />of the three-axle group is more than four feet from thc next axle in thc three-:~xle group
<br />and so that tile sp~cing between file first axle and the third axle of tile three-axle group is
<br />no more than nine feet, and weighc(l simultaneously as a unit, shall not exceed 48,000 pounds
<br />for pneumatic tires; nor shall thc total weight of vehicle and load exceed, for solid rubber

<br />between the front :~xlc and thc rc:~ ernest :~xle of thc vehicle, nor exceed, for pneumatic tires,
<br />38,000 pounds plus an additional 900 pounds for each foot of spacing bctwccn the front axle
<br />and the rearmosi~nxle of thc vehicle; nor shall thc weight of vehicle and load imposed upon
<br />the road surface by any vehicle exceed, for pneumatic tires: 80,000 pounds; nor shall such
<br />weight of vehicle ~nd load exceed, for solid tires eighty percent of tile permissible weight
<br />of vehicle and load as provided for pneum:~tic tires, h~ this section the xvord "vehicle"
<br />means any single vehicle when not ill combination, or any combination of vehicles, as defined
