[AT] Frost laws - weight restrictions

[Dennis Johnson]

Frost Laws are generally localized. In general they reduce the maximum weight on a road either by a percentage, or to some predetermined weight.
I would be surprised of they were so low they would effect a dually and a 10K trailer.

Thanks.,
Dennis
