The instructions may be obtained from any office of the Department or at the Internet address http://www.nevadadot.com.(b) At all times be operated with regard to public safety.2. When traffic, weather or other conditions are determined by the Department or the law enforcement agency to constitute a hazard, the permit may be temporarily suspended or restricted in use.3.

The Department will determine the amount of damages and bill the permittee. The permittee shall pay the bill by cash or certified check within 20 days after receipt of the bill.
