§ 154-1524. Permits for excess weight, width, height, and length.
Latest version.
Whenever it shall be necessary to transport a single article which cannot be divided
and which exceeds the total weight, width, height, or length allowable by this article,
it may be done only after the issuance of a special permit by the director of the
department of public works. When application for a permit is made, the director is
authorized to impose conditions upon the issuance of such permits and to make requirements
upon their use, such as the date, time of day, routes, and speed limit, the furnishing
of a bond with good and solvent surety to protect the city from all liability and
damage resulting from the use of such permits, and accompaniment of the shipment by
proper escort, police or otherwise, all at the expense of the user, and such other
conditions or requirements as the director of the department of public works deems
necessary and proper. In addition, the director of the department of public works,
prior to the issuance of a permit, shall collect from the applicant $125.00 for an
annual permit or $10.00 for a single-trip permit. In considering whether to issue
a permit in the Vieux Carré, the director of public works shall consider the physical
impact upon the historic streets and sidewalks of the Vieux Carré.
