Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. It will be the policy of the department to follow the ensuing requirements governing the permitting of off-road equipment on the state-maintained highway system.
B. The department will generally authorize a permit for the use of off-road equipment on the state maintained highway system provided it conforms to the provisions herein. Application for an off-road equipment permit and its authorization will be through the truck permit office of the department.
C. Off-road equipment shall be considered as any self-propelled or combination of vehicles adaptable to the highway environment which is not intended for normal operation on the highway due to its weight, size, and/or configuration. This equipment will also be classified as either non-critical or critical. Noncritical off-road equipment is not expected to produce excessive stresses in common highway bridges when operated. Critical off-road equipment, however, can produce stresses in excess of the capacity of common highway bridges if its permit requirements are not carefully met.
