We already have rules and codes for automotive manufacturers, and well as road construction standards, that allow for a wide range of vehicles for the public to pick from. Yes one could get out their calipers and measure the impact of each individual persons vehicle, but that's not how by an large people want to live. People want to be free to choose the vehicle that is right for them. The way to deal with this is to focus on traffic as a whole - with average and median statical loads when creating said standards rules and codes. The reason people don't like you getting out your calipers is because you are discounting the value of freedom of choice, instead using road wear as an excuse to justify enforcing your opinion on others. Those who engineer infrastructure have no problem dealing with a range of vehicles. This is more to do with virtue politics.
