Highway authorities, State Border Entry officials, road operators and owners need to Protect their roads from unnecessary damage and premature wear. By regulating vehicle weights, a Check Post can protect the investment in infrastructure. The Check Post can target heavier vehicles for higher tolls and collect the weight information for planning of future infrastructure and for maintenance activities. Operators may also target over-loaded trucks and place restrictions upon their entry. The addition of WIM to the Check Post makes it possible to collect fares based on vehicle weight, as well as vehicle classification. Since heavier vehicles tend to cause greater wear and tear on roads, collecting fares based on weights ensures that the vehicles causing the most damage pay the higher fares.
