Section 734-070-0005 - Scope

(1) Operating under special permits issued by the Department of Transportation pursuant to other rules, many over-dimensional vehicles or loads travel on state highways. Such permits may be valid for up to a one-year period, authorize dimensions considerably in excess of those established by statute, and include a route system consisting of a major portion of the state highway system.

(2) Not infrequently, a situation or condition arises which makes it unsafe, impractical, or, at times, impossible for an over-dimensional vehicle or load to travel over a given highway or section thereof. Such situations or conditions are usually caused by highway construction or repair projects or other local traffic conditions. The purpose of this rule is to provide a means of coping with such situations.
