In 2004, with the increasing requirements of restriction upon overloading in Anhui, a province-wide comprehensive overloading transportation survey has been conducted to evaluate the overloading status quo and enforcement efficiency with the support of the World Bank. A total of six site surveys were conducted at Hefei, Fuyang, Luan, Wuhu, Huainan and Huangshan Areas with four main contents: traffic volume, axle load, freight information and registration information.Via statistical analysis on the survey data, conclusions were reached as the following: vehicle overloading is very universal and serious at arterial highways in Anhui nowadays. The traffic loads have far exceeded the designed bearing capacity of highways and have caused prevalent premature pavement damage, especially for rigid pavements. Actually, the overloading trucks are now engaged in highway freight transportation due to the disordered overloading enforcement strategies and the deficient inspecting technologies.
