Heavy vehicles fitted with road-friendly suspensions (RFS) are permitted to operate on select routes at higher mass limits (HML). This productivity benefit is afforded on the basis that an approved RFS causes less pavement damage than one without it. New suspensions are tested and certified as road-friendly; however, despite evidence that the performance of a suspension degrades over time, there is no in-service compliance requirement or test protocol for RFS.
