Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) To
					 assist F6 Type 6 and 6A, and F2 Type 7 permittees in routing, the department
					 will provide a list of bridges not traversable. However, it is the
					 responsibility of the permittee not to use any "R" restricted bridge which may
					 be on the route the vehicle is travelling, respective of whether the bridge is
					 on the list provided by the department. The section of State highway upon which
					 a listed bridge is located will not be traversable between the two nearest
					 intersecting State highways which encompass that section of highway. However,
					 specific authorization for the use of a portion of any such excluded State
					 highway may be considered by the Department of Transportation.
(b) If the excluded section of State highway
					 is necessary for obtaining the permittee's destination, then on the permit
					 application, the permittee must state the anticipated route for which the
					 authorization is sought. This anticipated route, shall include, but is not
					 limited to, any detour route, when such detour is necessary, around the bridge
					 which is not traversable. Reasonable allowance for a deviation on State
					 highways from the anticipated route is permitted, if the deviation is required
					 to continue the necessary operation of that vehicle or to obtain that vehicle's
					 destination. Reasonable deviation shall not exceed 1,500 feet from the
					 anticipated routing.
(c) Local
					 routing. When the anticipated routing under the F6 Type 6 or Type 6A permit
					 includes specific highways not under the jurisdiction of the commissioner, then
					 the county, municipality, or municipalities having jurisdiction over the
					 specified highway must be notified by the applicant. The county, municipality,
					 or municipalities will have at least 15 days to comment on the anticipated
					 routing to the applicant.
(d)
					 Bridge restrictions. If a permit holder operates a vehicle or combination of
					 vehicles in violation of such routing restrictions, the Type 6, Type 6A or Type
					 7 permit shall be void as of the next day. All permits issued to the vehicle in
					 question shall not be reissued for a period of 12 months.
(e) Sanivan vehicles. A sanivan vehicle for
					 which a permit has been issued pursuant to this Subpart, is authorized to
					 operate on public highways in accordance with weight and bridge limitations in
					 such permit, and with posted temporary or permanent highway or bridge
					 restrictions. Such specific highway or bridge limitations preempt the
					 appropriate permit authorizations.
(f) Agricultural vehicle. A agricultural
					 vehicle for which a permit has been issued pursuant to this Subpart, is
					 authorized to operate on state highways in accordance with any weight
					 limitations specified in such permit and in accordance with posted temporary or
					 permanent highway or bridge restrictions. (Note: This permit is only available
					 for F1, F2 and F3 permits.) Such specific highway or bridge limitation preempt
					 the permit authorizations. This permit shall be valid for four continuous
					 months from date of issuance.
