				  are exempt from weight limitations.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.604 - Practical Maximum Weights

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
All requests for overweight moves are considered. However,
				  due to the physical capacity of the highways and bridges, practical maximum
				  weights have been established. Although many bridges will not carry these
				  weights, routes are generally available to most destinations. These weights
				  are:
a) 6 or more-axle tractor
				semitrailer combination 120,000 pounds gross; 48,000 pounds on drive tandem;
				60,000 pounds on semitrailer tandem.
b) 5-axle tractor semitrailer combination
				100,000 pounds gross; maximum of 48,000 pounds on either tandem.
c) 4-or-more-axle vehicle (axle spacing 23
				feet or more): up to and including 76,000 pounds gross; maximum of 34,000
				pounds on one tandem and 44,000 pounds on the other.
d) 3-or-more-axle vehicle (axle spacing 18
				feet or more): maximum 68,000 pounds gross; 20,000 pounds on one axle and
				48,000 pounds on the tandem.
e)
				2-axle vehicle: maximum 48,000 pounds, neither axle exceeds 25,000
				pounds.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.605 - Superload Moves

Superload moves or moves on nonstandard vehicles or with
				  nonstandard axle configurations may be authorized if allowable pavement and
				  bridge stresses are not exceeded. These moves normally require additional time
				  and fees (see Section
				  554.910
				  ) for analyses.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.606 - Maximum Weight on Chicago Expressways

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The maximum gross weight that may be authorized on Chicago
				  expressway is practical maximum weights as described in Section
				  554.604.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.607 - Movement to a Designated Scale

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Sections 15-301(b) and (f) of the Code allow the permittee to
				  travel to a certified scale to verify the axle and gross weights of an
				  overweight load when the permittee is uncertain of the correct weights. The
				  following conditions apply:
a) The
				applicant must, on the original application, request that the load be routed to
				a certified scale, the location of which was designated on the
				application.
b) For all single trip
				permits, the scale must be the nearest scale to the permittee's origin that has
				been certified by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (State weigh stations
				included). The "nearest scale" is defined as a scale within 25 miles of the
				permitted load's origin or no more than 1/3 of the total distance of the
				permitted route, whichever distance is less. However, if size and/or weight
				limits preclude the use of the requested scale, the permittee shall be routed
				to the first scale located within the route assigned by the Permit Office
				provided such scale is located within 25 miles of the permittee's origin or no
				more than 1/3 of the total distance of the permitted route, whichever distance
				is less.
c) The applicant must
				indicate the requested routing.
d)
				If any routes under the jurisdiction of local agencies are included in the
				routing, the applicant must provide evidence that approval has been secured
				from the local authority having jurisdiction.
e) Due to the volume of permits handled, the
				Permit Office cannot assist the applicant in determining the closest certified
				scale. By approving the routing to the scale as requested by the applicant and
				indicating the weight of the load is to be checked at a designated scale, the
				Permit Office in no way implies that it is the closest certified scale to the
				permit's origin. If a police officer finds there is a closer certified scale,
				the police officer may require the permittee to travel to that scale; however,
				it is that police officer's responsibility to verify that the routes can
				accommodate the load.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.608 - Status of Permittee While Enroute to the Scale

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) When the applicant has requested travel to
				a designated scale and the routing and scale have been specified in the permit
				by the Permit Office the permittee 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 the following amounts:
1) Single axle 2,000 pounds
2) Tandem axle 3,000 pounds
3) Gross 5,000 pounds
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.609 - Movement of Off-Road Overweight Equipment

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The distance that can be traveled on Illinois highways under
				  a permit by overweight equipment such as a scraper or end loader that is not
				  designed for highway travel, under its own power or towed, will generally be
				  limited to a maximum distance of 25 miles. Axle limitations will be based upon
				  an analysis of the pavement utilizing the tire sizes specified on the
				  application. If any single axle exceeds 30,000 pounds, no structures may be
				  crossed.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart F - OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES AND LOADS › Section 554.610 - Movement of Exceptionally Large Equipment

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
These movements characteristically involve a great deal of
				  advance planning and analysis. The objects being moved may weigh several
				  hundred thousand pounds or more and can be moved under their own power or may
				  be loaded on special transporting equipment. Typical loads include power
				  shovels or draglines used in strip mining operations, reactor vessels or
				  generators used in power plants, or other extremely heavy industrial equipment
				  components. These movements are generally for very short distances on or across
				  a highway. In addition to the general provisions applicable to normal
				  overdimension and overweight movements, one or more of the following conditions
				  may apply.
a) Due to the lengthy
				pavement and bridge analyses required for exceptionally heavy loads, a special
				agreement regarding payment of inspection and investigation fees in accordance
				with Section
				554.910(b)
				may be necessary.
b) The effect of
				the movement on overhead and underground utilities must be determined by the
				utility companies. Any adjustments required, such as raising lines or rerouting
				underground facilities are to be made in advance of the movement.
c) Movement may be restricted to when the
				shoulders are dry and firm, frozen, or have bearing capacity to support the
				object being moved or the weight of other passing traffic.
d) Movement may be restricted to periods when
				the probability of precipitation is no more than 30 percent as predicted by the
				National Weather Service.
e) An
				earthen or crushed stone pad of a depth specified by the Permit Office may be
				required to protect the pavement.
f) Additional insurance or security may be
				required in accordance with Sections
				554.108 or
				554.905.
g) A special agreement between the permittee
				and the Department may be required to ensure all conditions are defined
				regarding the security and repair requirements as specified in Section
				554.910b.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart G - SPECIFIC POLICIES INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY CROSSING › Section 554.703 - Changes in Traffic Conditions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
If subsequent to the original approval of the crossing and
				  issuance of permits, traffic conditions warrant a reappraisal of the crossing
				  operation, the permittee will be informed of any corrective action that must be
				  taken. Should permittee fail to make these corrections, the movement permits
				  may be canceled or upon expiration of existing permits no new permits will be
				  issued until the corrective action has been taken.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart G - SPECIFIC POLICIES INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY CROSSING › Section 554.704 - Aircraft

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Aircraft or aircraft components in excess of legal limits may
				  be moved over or across State highways by special permit. A permit will not
				  normally be issued to tow an aircraft on its own wheels. The aircraft shall be
				  loaded on a vehicle or combination of vehicles. No permits will be issued to
				  authorize landing, takeoff, or taxiing, upon or across a State
				  highway.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart G - SPECIFIC POLICIES INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY CROSSING › Section 554.705 - Disabled Vehicles

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A combination of vehicles, including a tow truck and a
				  disabled vehicle or disabled combination of vehicles, which exceeds the legal
				  length and/or weight limits may be operated on a highway under the following
				  conditions (See Sections 15-107 and 15-111 of the Code):
a) Prior to towing, neither the disabled
				vehicle, disabled combination of vehicles, nor the tow truck shall individually
				exceed the legal length or weight limits. When overweight, the towing shall not
				exceed a distance of 20 miles from the initial point of wreck or disablement
				provided neither the tow truck nor the vehicle being towed shall exceed the
				following axle weight limits as prescribed by Section 15-301(n) of the Code:
Single rear axle - 26,000 pounds
2-axle rear tandem rear axle - 50,000 pounds
3-axle rear tandem rear axle - 60,000 pounds
b) Any additional movement of the
				disabled vehicles shall be under normal permit procedures (Section

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart G - SPECIFIC POLICIES INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY CROSSING › Section 554.706 - Implements of Husbandry

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Sections 1-130, 11-1418, 15-101, and 15-102 of the Illinois
				  Vehicle Code provide information and exemptions for the movement of implements
				  of husbandry. (Form OPER 2279 provides transport rules (see Section
				  15-102(b)(2)(A) through (H) of the Code) for width exempt loads.) However,
				  implements of husbandry may be barred from operation on controlled access
				  highways when official signs prohibiting such operation are posted. An
				  implement of husbandry by definition (see Section 1-130 of the Code) is a
				  vehicle; therefore, for a farm tractor to be exempt, it must be used solely as
				  an implement of husbandry in connection with farming
				  operations.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart G - SPECIFIC POLICIES INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY CROSSING › Section 554.707 - Road Testing of Vehicles or Equipment

				National Guard must be in compliance with the size and weight limits contained
				in Sections 15-102, 15-103, 15-107, and 15-111 of the Code, unless an
				authorization has been issued by the Permit Office or an emergency has been
				officially declared by the President or Governor. In the event an official
				emergency is declared, telephone contact should be made with the Permit Office
				(217/782-6271) during regular office hours, or the Communications Center
				(217/782-2937) at other times, for assistance with the routing.
b) If it is necessary to move a vehicle or
				load that cannot be reasonably dismantled or disassembled and transported
				within the legal size and weight limits, an application for authorization to
				make the movement must be submitted to the Permit Office. Applications may be
				submitted for routine and superload permits via letter, fax, internet or by
				phone on the Department of Defense standard forms. Routine moves (see Sections
				554.504
				and
				554.604
				) may also be submitted on Form OPER 1928 and superload moves (any moves that
				exceed the dimensions in Sections
				554.504
				and 554.604) may also be submitted on Form OPER 2270. If the Permit Office
				determines the move can be made in safety without damaging the highway system,
				a no-cost authorization will be issued (Section 15-301 of the Code).
c) The Permit Office will review requests for
				routine military convoy movements that are submitted on standard military forms
				and will issue permits to overweight vehicles and loads that are included.
				These authorizations do not relieve the Armed Forces or National Guard from
				overall responsibility for the convoy movement.
d) The branch of the Armed Forces or National
				Guard authorizing oversize or overweight moves without the approval of the
				Permit Office assumes full liability for accidents or damages that may be
				caused directly or indirectly by reason of the movements. While the driver is
				not subject to arrest, any unauthorized shipment found to be in violation of
				the legal size and weight limits shall not be allowed to proceed until the
				excess load is shifted or removed, or the Permit Office approves the
				movement.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart H - EMERGENCIES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS › Section 554.801 - General

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Engineer of
				Operations through the Permit Office, or the Regional Engineer in the District
				in which the event occurs, may authorize emergency moves of vehicles, vehicle
				combinations, or loads that exceed the maximum legal dimension and weight
				limitations in a disaster area without a standard permit. Authorization may
				also be issued for the movement of State, local agency, or leased equipment for
				snow and ice removal without permit. However, normal permit requirements should
				be generally observed where practicable. During regular office hours, the
				Permit Office (217/782-6271) should be contacted for assistance in permit
				routing and coordinating the movement. When the Permit Office is closed, the
				Department's Communications Center (217/782-2937) will contact permit officials
				as needed and coordinate the movement.
b) For purposes of this Part, "disaster"
				includes flood, tornado, fire, or any other disaster that causes or threatens
				loss of life or destruction or damage to property of such a magnitude as to
				seriously endanger the public health, safety, and welfare or that causes or
				threatens to cause destruction or major damage to the highway or other
				transportation system. Emergency moves may be authorized:
1) when disaster is apparent,
2) during the disaster period, and
3) in the initial stages of
				recovery.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 554 - SERVICES TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE STUDENTS › Subpart H - EMERGENCIES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS › Section 554.802 - Mobile Home Emergency Moves

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In the event an area has been declared a disaster area by the
				  President or Governor, house trailers may be authorized to move into the area
				  without a standard permit. The house trailers may not exceed 12 feet wide and
				  85 feet combination length. They must be owned by the victims of the disaster
				  or otherwise be brought into the area for relief purposes. If the units are
				  furnished by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the
				  Permit Office will generally allow movement in conformance with the American
				  Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) National
				  Policy. However, the Permit Office may include additional restrictions in its
				  authorization.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Toxic, gaseous, and highly explosive
				liquid or gaseous materials generally are transported in special vehicles that
				conform to legal dimensions and weights. Occasionally, such vehicles are found
				to be overweight and are stopped by the Illinois State Police as authorized by
				law. Under the law, the driver may not proceed until the weight has been
				reduced to legal proportions. Requiring the driver to remove part of the cargo
				to reduce the weight to legal limits may constitute a hazard endangering a
				large area.
b) Upon recommendations
				of the police and if determined feasible by engineering analysis, a special
				authorization may be issued:
1) Permitting the
				driver to proceed to the nearest point where suitable unloading facilities are
				available to remove the excess cargo; or
2) Permitting the driver to return to the
				point of origin in Illinois or to the point of entrance to the State.

This Part establishes guidelines and procedures for determining
				the existence of a serious safety hazard and applies to serious safety hazards
				encountered by pupils walking on or along roadways, crossing roadways and
				crossing railroad tracks. This determination allows for the State Board of
				Education to provide busing reimbursement to school districts that choose to
				transport pupils residing within 1-1/2 miles from the school attended where
				conditions are such that walking, either to or from the school to which a pupil
				is assigned for attendance or to or from a pick-up point or bus stop,
				constitutes a serious hazard to the safety of the pupil due to vehicular
				traffic or rail crossings. Such transportation shall not be provided if
				adequate transportation for the public is available. (Section 29-3 of the
				School Code [105 ILCS
				5/29-3 ])

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Qualification. A serious Type III safety
			 hazard exists if the total of the points from the tables and any judgment
			 points equals or exceeds 12 and the situation qualifies for points from at
			 least Tables 11, 12 and 14. The situation is not disqualified if no points are

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 556 - TRANSPORTING PUPILS WHERE WALKING CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD › Section 556.150 - Crossing Railroad Tracks (Type IV hazard)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Qualification. A serious Type IV safety
			 hazard exists if a situation qualifies for points from all of Tables 15 through
			 17 and the total of the points from the tables and any judgment points equals
			 or exceeds 12. School districts should add judgment points if found proper even
			 though the points from the tables alone equal or exceed 12.
b) Determination of serious safety hazard.
1) Factors to be considered. The following
			 factors are relevant in determining whether pupils crossing railroad tracks are
			 endangered by a serious safety hazard: grade of pupil, crossing protection and
			 number of tracks, and speed and number of trains. To determine whether a
			 serious safety hazard exists in a particular situation, a school board shall
			 assign points as appropriate for these factors, using the following tables
			 (fractional points may be assigned only in accordance with the tables):

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 556 - TRANSPORTING PUPILS WHERE WALKING CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD › Section 556.160 - Multiple Hazards

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 Pupils walking to school may encounter multiple hazardous situations. A serious
			 safety hazard exists if the total of the points from the tables and any
			 judgment points for any two situations encountered by the same pupils equals or
			 exceeds 20 points. Multiple hazards consist of the two worst hazard
			 situations.
b) Examples:
1) Pupils through 12th grade walking on a
			 shoulder 4' wide where there is no curb, along a 2-lane road posted at 40
			 m.p.h. with an hourly volume of 1100 vehicles, for a distance of 0.5 mile,
			 would have the following points for this Type I hazard (see tables in Section
			 556.120(b)(1)
			 ):
2(Table 1) + 3(Table 2) + 2(Table 3) + 3(Table 4) + 1(Table 5)
				= 11
This situation alone would not qualify.
2) The same pupils also cross the same 2-lane
			 road which is 30' wide at the crossing where there is no intersection control
			 for the roadway being crossed. The points for this Type III hazard are as
			 follows (see tables in Section
			 556.140(b)(1)
			 ):
2(Table 11) + 3(Table 12) + 3(Table 13) + 1(Table 14) =
				9
This situation alone would not qualify. However, the same
				pupils encounter both situations and since the point total for both situations
				equals 20, there exists a serious safety hazard for pupils through 12th
				grade.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 557 - CUSTODIAL TRANSPORTATION OF PUPILS WHERE WALKING CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD › Section 557.100 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Part establishes guidelines and procedures for determining
				the existence of serious safety hazards encountered by pupils walking on or
				along roadways, crossing roadways and crossing railroad tracks. This
				determination allows for the State Board of Education to provide reimbursement
				of transportation costs to custodians who choose to transport pupils residing
				within 11/2 miles from the school attended where vehicular traffic conditions
				are such that walking constitutes a serious hazard to the safety of the pupils
				and access to transportation provided entirely at public expense is not
				available (Section 29-5.2(c) of the School Code [105
				ILCS 5/29-5.2(c)]). Both custodians and qualifying
				pupils must be residents of the State of Illinois (Section 29-5.2(b)(1)(A) of
				the School Code).
