Certificates of insurance, indicating the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, its officers, agents, and employees, as an additional insured under the policies, in types and limits deemed by the Authority to be acceptable.

2. An indemnification and hold harmless agreement signed by the applicant in a form provided by or acceptable to the General Counsel; and

3. Such other documents or information as may be required by the Authority.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth in this chapter, the Director of Operations may approve or reject an application for a traffic permit, which may be approved only if the applicant has met all of the requirements of (c) and (d) above, and the Director of Operations has determined that the permit can be granted without any undue risk to the safety, traffic security, or movement of the Roadway or the Authority's employees or patrons.

(f) The permittee shall comply with any and all Authority restrictions on the activities occurring under the permit imposed as a condition of the grant of a permit in order to ensure the safety, traffic security, or movement of the Roadway or the Authority's employees or patrons.
