## Text

01. Primary Concern. The Department’s primary concern, in the issuance of special permits, will be the safety and conveyance of the general public and the preservation of the highway infrastructure. (7-1-24) 02. Permit Issuance. The Department will, in each case, predicate the issuance of a special permit on a reasonable determination of the necessity and feasibility of the proposed movement. Permits will be issued to specific vehicles. (7-1-24) 03. Special Permit. The special permit authority of the Department will cover travel on state roadways only, unless the Department has an existing agreement under subsection 004 of this rule. Special permits issued by the Department will be valid only on completed sections of state roadways, as described on the permit by route number or otherwise. The right to use county highways or city streets is neither granted nor implied. The special permit authority of the Department will include those sections of state roadways within corporate limits of cities and towns. Still, it will not include sections of state roadways intersecting with local highways, when travel is occurring on the local highway(s). Additionally, it will not release the permittee from complying with other existing laws, local ordinances, or resolutions which may also govern their movement. Contractors hauling loads within the limits of state highway construction projects do not require special permits, but the loads must comply with the weight limits specified in the state highway contract. (7-1-24) 04. Offices For Issuance Of Special Permits. The Department will make access to permits available electronically, over the phone, and in person at Ports of Entry, as practicable. (7-1-24)
