Current through Vol. 41, No. 19, June 17, 2024

Section 730:50-5-14 - Government agencies

(a) Military moves.

(1)Special permission. All movements by the Armed Forces and the National Guard must be in compliance with the size and weight limits contained in 47 O.S. §§ 14-103 and 14-109, unless an authorization has been issued by the Size and Weight Permit Division, or an emergency has been officially declared by the President or the Governor. In the event an official emergency is declared, telephone contact should be made with the Oklahoma City Size and Weight Permit Office by calling toll free 405-425-7012 during regular office hours or the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Communications Center by calling 405-425-2323 at other times.

(2)No-cost authorization. If it is necessary to move a vehicle or load which cannot be reasonably dismantled or disassembled and transported within the legal size and weight limits, an application for authorization to make the movement must be submitted to the Oklahoma City Permit Office. Application may be on Department of Defense standard forms, by letter, or by electronic communications. If the Oklahoma City Permit Office determines the move can be made in safety without damaging the highway system, a no-cost authorization will be issued.

(3)No-cost authorization. The Oklahoma City Permit Office will review requests for routine military convoy movements, which are submitted on standard military forms, and issue a Military No-Cost Authorization for all approved oversize and overweight vehicles and loads which are included. These authorizations do not relieve the Armed Forces or National Guard from overall responsibility for the convoy movement.

(b) City, county, state, and federal agencies.

(1)Compliance. City, county, state, and federal agencies must comply with the provisions of 730:50-5-14(a)(1).

(2)No-cost authorization. If it is necessary to move a vehicle or load which cannot be reasonably dismantled or disassembled and transported within the legal size and weight limits, an application for authorization to make the movement must be submitted to the Oklahoma City Permit Office. If the Oklahoma City Permit Office determines the move can be made safely without damaging the highway system, a no-cost authorization will be issued.

(3)ODOT and OTA No-Cost Authorization. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority are required to obtain oversize overweight fleet permits at no cost for agency fleet vehicles moving to, from and engaged in highway maintenance and construction activities.
