heavy vehicles
Large road machines
Heavy vehicles are large, weighty motor vehicles—trucks, buses, construction equipment, and similar machinery.
The term appears most often in regulatory and traffic contexts: Heavy vehicles must use the right lane, a heavy vehicle license.
Weight thresholds vary by jurisdiction but typically start around 10,000 pounds or 4,500 kilograms.
