The Department may, in writing, exempt from posted road restrictions vehicles carrying certain commodities or which are used to perform certain services as specified by the Department if such exemptions are reasonable and necessary to promote the public health, safety, or welfare (such as for school buses, or heating fuel), although care should be exercised while hauling over posted roads, limiting weights where possible. Vehicles used to transport materials pumped from a septic or holding tank may be declared exempt from posted road restrictions by the Department if, because of health concerns, materials need to be removed from a septic or holding tank within 24 hours after the vehicle operator is notified. Within 72 hours after operating such a vehicle, the operator of the vehicle shall notify the Department that the vehicle traveled over a posted road.
Other highways may be added to the above list if conditions warrant.
Please see our Permits & Applications page if you need to request a permit to travel on restricted county roads with loads exceeding the posted limits.
