   3. (C) Location of entry to and exit from the weight-restricted highway; and
   4. (D) Length of travel necessary on the weight-restricted highway;

2. (2) The evaluation may consist of the following:

   1. (A) Collection of core samples along the subject weight-restricted highway to determine the pavement and subgrade structure;
   2. (B) Falling Weight Deflectometer tests to determine the stiffness characteristics of the existing pavement structure; and
   3. (C) Existing traffic data for the subject weight-restricted highway.

(f)

1. (1) Using the most recent cost information available, the department will calculate the cost of additional maintenance that may be needed as a result of the operator’s heavy truck travel along the weight-restricted highway (hereafter the Roadway Maintenance Assessment).
