Haw. Code R. § 19-104-11 - General conditions of permits
The following general provisions, when applicable, shall govern the movement of all vehicles, vehicle combinations or objects authorized by permit issued by the department:
(1) The permit shall be carried in the
vehicle during the movement and shall be shown on demand to any police officer
or representative of the department; provided that in the case of annual
permits, this requirement may be met where a copy of the permit is carried in
the vehicle, and the original permit is readily available for inspection from
the operator's offices in the county of issuance.
(2) The permit shall entitle the permittee to
move only on the specified state highways and bridges. The right to use other
highways is neither implied nor granted.
(3) The permit shall be effective only
insofar as the department has authority for its issuance, and does not relieve
the permittee from complying with other existing state and county laws and
ordinances which may govern the movement.
(4) The permittee shall comply with all signs
that are posted whether such signs are permanent or posted temporarily due to
emergency conditions.
(5) An
oversize or overweight vehicle shall not at any time be loaded nor unloaded nor
parked upon any state highway or bridge without permission from the department,
except in case of emergency.
(6)
The permittee shall check structures and overhead utility lines for available
clearance in overheight movements.
(7) The permittee shall secure the components
of the vehicle and load with appropriate devices to prevent creating any
hazards. Vehicles carrying agricultural produce from fields during harvesting
shall- be exempt from this requirement but the owner of the vehicle shall
exercise reasonable care to prevent creating any hazards and provide for the
reasonable removal of all such produce spilled or dropped on the
highway.
(8) The extremities of an
oversize vehicle or load shall be marked with flags or lights in accordance
with existing state and county laws, ordinances, and rules.
(9) The proposed movement shall be made so
that the traveled way will remain open for traffic at all times. In movements
over two-lane pavements, provisions shall be made for continuous movement of
opposing traffic and for frequent passing by vehicles traveling in the same
direction. If necessary, the vehicle shall be moved away from the traveled way
at frequent intervals to allow traffic to pass. Vehicles shall not travel upon
the highway shoulder except when pulling over to allow following vehicles to
pass.
(10) Whenever the department
or policing agency having jurisdiction over such highways determines that the
traffic, weather or other conditions will create a hazard in the movement, the
department or agency may at any time delay the movement under the
permit.
(11) The issuance of permit
shall not in any way be construed as a warranty by the state that the route to
be used for the movements is in a safe and usable condition.
(12) Misrepresentation of information set
forth in the application or noncompliance with limitations in weight and
dimensions, route of travel or other provisions as stated in the permit shall
render the permit void, and the permittee shall be subject to all penalties
provided by law with respect to the provisions violated. The movement shall not
be permitted to continue until the deficiencies have been corrected and a new
permit has been issued. Issuance of a new permit shall not release the
permittee from the penalties provided by law.
(13) The right to revoke the permit at any
time for any justifiable reasons is reserved.
(14) No duly authorized representative of the
state shall be responsible personally for any liability arising under the
permit; and furthermore, the permittee shall save and hold harmless the state
and any of its officers, agents representatives, successors and assigns from
any and all suits or actions of every nature and kind which may be brought for
or on account of any injury, death, or damage, directly or indirectly arising
or growing out of the acts or omissions of the permittee, its officers/ agents,
employees or servants in the use of the permit.
(15) The permit shall cover only the person
or firm designated as permittee and is not transferable.
(16) Movement of oversize or overweight
vehicles shall not be permitted on days and during hours when, in the opinion
of the district engineer, extremely heavy traffic is expected.
(17) Movements on Saturdays, Sundays and
state holidays may be permitted at the discretion of the district
engineer.
