Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart C - ISSUANCE OF PERMITS › Section 554.310 - Procedure Following Arrest for Violation

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Following an arrest for violation of a
				permit, if the load can be shifted to comply with the provisions of the permit,
				the driver or owner may make the shift and then proceed. If the load cannot be
				shifted or otherwise adjusted to comply with the permit, a new permit must be
				secured following the same procedures as for an original permit.
b) If the permit designates and includes a
				routing to a certified scale that was requested on the original application as
				outlined in Section
				554.607,
				the permittee, while enroute to the designated scale, shall be deemed in
				compliance with the weight provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross
				weights do not exceed any of the permitted limits by more than 2000 pounds on a
				single axle, 3000 pounds on a tandem axle, and 5000 pounds on the gross weight.
				Before leaving the designated scale area, the permittee must either:
1) shift the load to comply with the
				permitted weights,
2) obtain a
				revision from the Permit Office if the final weights exceed the permit limits
				but are within the tolerances, or
3) obtain a new permit if the weight
				tolerances are exceeded.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart C - ISSUANCE OF PERMITS › Section 554.311 - Subsequent Permits Following a Violation

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The permit to continue a move following a violation will be
				  withheld until:
a) The Permit Office
				has received clearance from the police agency making the arrest that the load
				may proceed.
b) All fees or fee
				adjustments have been paid or charged to the appropriate account.
c) Following a conviction for a third offense
				within a one year period, the Department shall not issue permits to the person,
				firm, or corporation for a period of one year after the date of the conviction
				for such third offense [625
				ILCS 5/15-301(j) ].
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart C - ISSUANCE OF PERMITS › Section 554.312 - Permits for Moves Over Toll Highways

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Permits for oversize and overweight
				movements over the Illinois Toll Highway System are not issued by the
				Department but are required when legal dimensions or weights are exceeded. The
				maximum dimensions allowed on most toll roads, due to physical limitations, is
				12 feet in width and 14 feet 6 inches in height.
b) Both oversize and overweight permits may
				be obtained from the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, Downers Grove,
				Illinois 60515 (630/241-6800, extension 3822 or 3847). Some oversize and
				overweight permits may also be purchased at a Toll Plaza. A permit is required
				from the Department's Permit Office for movement on State highways leading to
				and from the toll road prior to purchase of a toll road permit.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart C - ISSUANCE OF PERMITS › Section 554.313 - Permits for Moves Over Local Roads

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Permit applications for movement upon
				local streets or highways should be submitted to the local authorities having
				maintenance jurisdiction over the street or roadway. Section 15-301 of the Code
				authorizes local authorities to issue permits under the same conditions as the
				Department. Within the City of Chicago, it is necessary to obtain permits from
				both the State (the Department) and City of Chicago for travel on State
				highways other than the expressways.
b) The Department has no authority to issue
				permits for moves over streets or highways not under its control or
				jurisdiction. A permit issued by the Department specifically states in the
				general provisions that it is void on any highway other than a State maintained
				highway. The issuance of a permit under this Part does not excuse the permittee
				from complying with other existing laws that may apply to the
				movement.
c) The Department will
				not knowingly terminate a move over a State highway at a local street or
				highway that may cause damage to the local facility. If a problem is
				anticipated, proof will be required from the applicant that permission from the
				local highway official has been obtained.
d) The permit is not valid on any highway or
				bridge posted for a load limit less than the gross weight of the move, on any
				highway closed to traffic, and on any highway not maintained by the Department.
				The right to use highways other than those specified in the permit is neither
				implied nor granted for non-State-jurisdiction routes. The applicant must
				obtain permission from the proper local authority to use local streets or
				highways, or from the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority if traveling over
				the Tollway.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart C - ISSUANCE OF PERMITS › Section 554.314 - Moves Upon Structures Located on a Local Street or Highway Spanning an Interstate or Controlled Access Highway

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Although structures over an Interstate
				highway, separating a local highway and the multilane highway, may have been
				built jointly by the Federal Government, State, County, or local municipality,
				maintenance jurisdiction of the roadway over such structures remains with the
				local authority.
b) When oversize
				or overweight moves are required over these structures, permits must be
				obtained from the local authority having maintenance jurisdiction over the
				highway. Should the ability of a structure to carry an overweight load be
				unknown, the Department will assist the local authority by analyzing the
				structure and reporting the findings.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart C - ISSUANCE OF PERMITS › Section 554.315 - Definition of Violation of Permit

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) When operating under authority of an
				oversize/overweight permit issued by the Department, the following list
				includes but is not limited to offenses that shall be considered a violation of
				permit but will not render the entire permit null and void:
1) Incorrect license number or
				state;
2) Incorrect make, model
				number, description and/or serial number;
3) Incorrect number of axles;
4) Gross, tandem or single axle weights that
				are in excess of those permitted. In this case, the violator may be fined for
				the excess weight in addition to the violation of permit;
5) Incorrect width, length, and/or height of
				the permit load;
6) Failure to
				comply with the general and specific provisions and notes listed on the permit.
				EXCEPTION: Failure to comply with the general and specific provisions and notes
				pertaining to minimum axle spacing, as described on the permit application and
				accompanying permit, will be considered a load operating without a permit, and
				the permit will be deemed fraudulent in accordance with Section
				554.212(d).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Permits issued in writing or by fax have been shortened to reduce the cost of
				the messages. Applicable conditions and restrictions are indicated by code
				number and letter and are contained in Form OPER 993. A copy of Form OPER 993
				must accompany the permit or the permittee is subject to arrest in accordance
				with Section 15-301(j) of the Code.
b) Self issued routine permits issued by
				telephone shall be written in ink or typed by the applicant or permittee on
				Form OPER 1928. The applicant or permittee must complete the applicable
				portions of this form as directed by the Permit Office prior to starting the
				move. The record of the permit as maintained by the Permit Office shall be
				presumed correct in any questions or dispute. Form OPER 993 contains general
				provisions that apply to these permits. The Permit Office may require that a
				copy of the form completed by the applicant or permittee for any permit issued
				by telephone be submitted to the Permit Office to verify that the information
				has been correctly recorded. It is anticipated this will only be done on forms
				the Department has reason to believe have been inaccurately completed or if the
				company is suspected of abusing the self issue permit system. If a company has
				abused the system by, for example, attempting to use the same permit for more
				than one move or knowingly completing the form inaccurately, the company will
				not be allowed to obtain permits by telephone.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart D - GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS › Section 554.403 - Form OPER 993

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Movements shall be confined to a single traffic lane and
				  shall be made in such a manner that the rest of the roadway will be open at all
				  times so the flow of other traffic will not unnecessarily be obstructed. Other
				  traffic will be given the right-of-way over the movement. The driver shall
				  remove the vehicle from the roadway when necessary to allow an accumulation of
				  traffic to pass or when so directed by a police officer.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Permit authority is not required for the movement of a
				  vehicle, inclusive of load, not exceeding the legal height limitation of 13
				  feet 6 inches as established in the Code. Therefore, no action is taken by the
				  Department, either separately or in conjunction with authorizing an otherwise
				  oversize or overweight movement, to ensure adequate clearance of structures for
				  a vehicle, inclusive of load, if the applicant or permittee has indicated the
				  overall height is legal.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart D - GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS › Section 554.430 - Assigned Permitted Route

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The assigned permit route includes a distance of one mile
				  onto another contiguous state jurisdiction highway provided that no structures
				  are crossed, no posted weight limits are exceeded, overdimensional moves are
				  not obstructed, all other provisions of the permit are followed and the route
				  is used for any of the following reasons:
a) To obtain fuel or repair;
b) To provide for food or rest for the
				driver;
c) To allow for the legal
				return to a permitted route after mistakenly going off route;
d) To comply with regulatory signs to
				weigh.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart E - OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.501 - Scope

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Permits may be
				issued for overdimension objects and vehicles if they have been reasonably
				disassembled. Objects must be loaded within legal dimensions, if at all
				possible. Multiple objects, loaded side-by-side, end-to-end, or on top of each
				other, may not cause the overdimension. However, more than one overdimension
				object may be transported if it does not result in another dimension that
				exceeds legal limits.
b) Permits to
				move empty overdimension trailers may be obtained, but these trailers may not
				normally be used to transport legal size loads. Consideration will be given to
				the movement of a legal size object requiring a special carriage that results
				in an oversize vehicle. An overdimension trailer may be used to transport an
				overdimension object.
c) Permits
				will not be issued for empty or loaded double-bottom units that exceed legal
				maximum size or weights.
d)
				Nondivisible load or vehicles.
1) Permit
				loads are deemed to be reasonably dismantled (nondivisible) if, when separated
				into smaller loads or vehicles, further dismantling would:
A) Compromise the intended use of the load or
				vehicle; that is, make it unable to perform the function for which it was
				intended;
B) Destroy the value of
				the load or vehicle; that is, make it unusable for its intended purpose;
				or
C) Require more than 8 work
				hours to dismantle using appropriate equipment. The permittee for a
				nondivisible load has the burden of proof as to the number of workhours
				required to dismantle the load.

				more than 3 wagons being towed by an implement of husbandry, or to a vehicle
				operated under the terms of a special permit issued under this Part. (Section
				15-101(b) of the Code)
b) Length
				limitations in Section 15-107(a) through (f) of the Code do not apply to the
				following:
1) Vehicles operated in the
				daytime, except on Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays, when transporting
				poles, pipe, machinery, or other objects of a structural nature that cannot
				readily be dismembered, provided the overall length of vehicle and load may not
				exceed 100 feet and no object exceeding 80 feet in length may be transported
				unless a permit has been obtained as authorized in Section 15-301 of the Code.
				(Section 15-107(g)(1) of the Code)
2) Vehicles and loads operated by a public
				utility while en route to make emergency repairs to public service facilities
				or properties, but during night operation every vehicle and its load must be
				equipped with a sufficient number of clearance lamps on both sides and marker
				lamps upon the extreme ends of any projecting load to clearly mark the
				dimensions of the load. (Section 15-107(g)(2) of the Code)\
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart E - OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.504 - Overwidth up to 14 Feet 6 Inches Wide

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Permits may be issued for widths up to the
				practical maximum of 14 feet 6 inches, except for toll highways and certain
				expressways in the Chicago area.
b)
				Movement of loads exceeding practical maximum weights (see Section
				554.604
				), 12 feet in width or 13 feet 6 inches in height are prohibited on the
				expressways in Cook County; except Interstate 55 north of Exit 277, Interstate
				57 south of US 6 (159th St.), and Interstate 290
				north of toll road Interstate 294.
c) Separate permits must be obtained from the
				Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (630/241-6800, Extension 3822 or 3847)
				for travel on Illinois toll roads. The maximum height permitted on the toll
				roads is 14 feet 6 inches, the maximum width permitted on these toll roads is
				10 feet, except a width of 12 feet is allowed on the sections of the tollroad
				system that carry Interstate Route 80 and US Route 51.
d) Loads exceeding 14 feet 6 inches in width
				will generally be routed over multilane highways whenever possible even though
				additional travel distance may result. An alternate routing could be approved
				if, for example, the traffic volumes on the proposed two-lane routing were low
				and the highway geometrics were sufficient to allow the unit to move without
				disrupting traffic flow.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart E - OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.505 - Width Exceeding 14 Feet 6 Inches

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) In the interest of safety, the movement of
				vehicles or objects exceeding this width is restricted. Construction activity
				or other highway conditions may result in lengthy delays in the issuance of a
				permit or may preclude issuance altogether.
b) Movement of vehicles or objects exceeding
				18 feet wide will generally only be authorized on Interstate and other
				multilane controlled access highways. All the movements on these highways must
				be able to maintain any minimum posted speeds, except at locations where the
				permit requires reduced speeds.
c)
				Permits may be issued to move a vehicle or load over 14 feet 6 inches in width,
				provided:
1) Roadway data maintained by the
				Permit Office disclosed that the movement can be made without seriously
				jeopardizing other traffic or highway facilities. If these data are inadequate,
				a District investigation shall be conducted.
2) The movement will not delay emergency
				vehicles that may need to travel on the proposed routing.
3) The move is not one of many to be made in
				the course of regular operations.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Horizontal clearances at bridges and other obstructions must
				  exceed the overall width of the load by 24 inches or more. Where practical, the
				  load may be raised over handrails in order to clear. However, if this is
				  proposed, the vertical clearance between the top of the handrail and the
				  underside of the load must be at least 18 inches.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart E - OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.507 - Overlength

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Permits are
				required for empty vehicles that exceed legal dimensions, for objects that
				exceed 80 feet long, and for loads on a single vehicle or on the first vehicle
				of a combination that protrude 3 feet beyond the front bumper. Protruding
				sections of a single vehicle (such as the boom of a mobile crane) may extend
				more than 3 feet beyond the front bumper.
b) The practical maximum length for permit
				movements is 145 feet. Permits may be issued for greater lengths on the basis
				of an individual movement analysis.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart E - OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.508 - Overheight

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The maximum
				overheight for which a permit may be issued is governed by overhead clearances
				provided to the Permit Office by each District. The height of the move should
				be measured from the uppermost point of the object, after it is loaded, to the
				ground. The practical maximum height is 15 feet.
b) The maximum height authorized on Chicago
				area controlled access highways is 13 feet 6 inches.
c) On all highways, a 3-inch clearance
				generally is specified to allow for bounce. Overheight movements that are
				extremely long may require additional clearance at underpasses where the
				approach pavement dips abruptly at the structure.
d) The Permit Office does not check the
				vertical clearance of a route when the applicant indicates the height of the
				vehicle and load is "legal". If the applicant indicates the height is 13 feet 6
				inches, which is the legal height, no additional clearance is provided when the
				vertical clearance of the route is checked.
e) For movements at 16 feet or greater in
				height, the applicant shall perform a route survey, listing all overhead
				obstructions, to ensure the clearances will enable the object to pass under
				without difficulty. The surveyed route must clear all structures by three
				inches. The measurements of all structures are listed by the Department at
http://www.dot.il.gov/tpublic.html#trucker
or on the online truck permit routes or map at
www.gettingaroundillinois.com
. In
				addition, all routes must be clear of any legal weight structures, ton
				structures and temporary and permanent restrictions that may apply to the
				load.
f) For movements at 17 feet
				in height, or greater, it is the responsibility of the applicant to contact all
				companies with overhead utility facilities and to indicate on the application
				the company, name of person contacted and telephone number. A District
				investigation, consisting of a route survey by District personnel, will be
				required.

Permits for overdimension manufactured home frames loaded on
				  regular or lowboy semitrailers or on specially designed vehicles that are
				  normally accepted as semitrailers and are normally licensed as semitrailers may
				  be issued. A permit may be issued to tow one manufactured home frame. The

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart E - OVERSIZE VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.511 - Buildings

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The movement of buildings is similar to other overdimension
				  moves. This Section provides additional information that pertains to building
				  moves.
a) The size of a building that
				may be moved is generally contingent upon the physical limitation of the
				highway upon which the building is to be moved and the effect of the move upon
				the flow of traffic. Porches or protruding sections generally must be removed
				to reduce the building to acceptable proportions. Loose boards, bricks, etc.,
				must also be removed for safety reasons.
b) If, in connection with a permitted
				building move, work must be done on a State highway, such as tree trimming or
				removal and replacement of signs, signals or guardrails, written permission
				must be obtained from the District involved.
c) Removal or raising of overhead wires and
				cables is the responsibility of the permittee. Necessary arrangements must be
				made with utility companies.
d)
				Routes upon which a building may be moved are as follows:
1) Generally, buildings may be moved on or
				across low traffic volume routes that have sufficient vertical and horizontal
				clearances.
2) Movements of large
				buildings on or along high traffic volume routes will not be approved. These
				routes include major arterial routes near a central business district and
				multi-lane access-controlled highways.
3) Applications will not be approved for
				movements on or across Interstate or other multi-lane fully access-controlled
				highways.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.601 - Scope

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Permits may be
				issued for overweight vehicles and objects if they have been reasonably
				disassembled [625
				ILCS 5/15-301 ] and the highway system can carry the
				weight. Overweight moves may consist of only a single object. Overweight
				equipment may be moved with normal components attached.
b) The Permit Office may require verification
				of the weight of the vehicle and load prior to issuing a permit when there is
				reason to believe the requested weight is incorrect. Permits are required for
				any overweight movement to or from a weigh scale over State highways for
				preliminary weighing of the vehicle and load.
