                      72-3-113. Truck limitations on Legacy Parkway.
                      (1) As used in this section:
                      (a) "Legacy Parkway" means the proposed or existing four-lane limited access highway
                  that runs approximately 14 miles from I-215 in Salt Lake County to US 89 in Davis County.
                      (b) (i) "Reconstruction of I-15 between US 89 in Farmington and I-215 in North Salt
                  Lake City" means the physical construction work necessary to add capacity to the portion of I-15
                  from I-215 in Davis County to the interchanges with US 89 and I-15 in Farmington.
                      (ii) "Reconstruction of I-15 between US 89 in Farmington and I-215 in North Salt Lake
                  City" does not include:
                      (A) preparation of environmental impact statements;
                      (B) preliminary design work or repairs; and
                      (C) maintenance and operations of the highway that do not add capacity to the highway.
                      (c) (i) "Truck" means any vehicle:
                      (A) with five or more axles; or
                      (B) of 80,000 pounds or greater registered gross vehicle weight.
                      (ii) "Truck" does not include:
                      (A) equipment owned and operated by the United States Department of Defense when
                  driven by any active duty military personnel and members of the reserves and National Guard on

                      (C) recreational vehicles that are driven solely as family or personal conveyances for
                  noncommercial purposes.
                      (2) The Legislature finds and declares that the limitation of trucks being operated on the
                  Legacy Parkway under Subsection (3) is due to the unique location of the Legacy Parkway, which
                  is adjacent to the Legacy Nature Preserve.
                      (3) The department shall restrict trucks from being operated on the Legacy Parkway
                  provided that:
                      (a) trucks shall be allowed to be operated on the Legacy Parkway during reconstruction
                  of I-15 between US 89 in Farmington and I-215 in North Salt Lake City; and
                      (b) trucks shall be allowed to be operated on the Legacy Parkway if diversion of traffic
                  from I-15 or another route is determined to be necessary by the highway patrol and the
                  department in the event of an incident, following standard procedures for protecting public safety.
