MARC J. NOLAN
Deputy Attorney General

THE HONORABLE KEVIN JEFFRIES, MEMBER
ASSEMBLY, has requested an opinion on the following question:

OF THE STATE

For purposes of Vehicle Code section 35782(b), what is the definition of the term
unusually large or heavy load?
CONCLUSION
For purposes of Vehicle Code section 35782(b), the term unusually large or
heavy load has no uniform statewide definition, but rather refers to a vehicle load that
(1) exceeds the statutory size and weight maximums prescribed in the Vehicle Code, and
(2) is sufficiently large or heavy, as determined by the Department of Transportation or a
local authority, to pose a substantial risk to public facilities that is not adequately covered
by the level of insurance otherwise required by law.
