Haw. Code R. § 19-104-24 - Emergency moves
(a) The chief of the highways division or the
district engineer may authorize emergency moves of vehicles, vehicle
combinations, or loads which exceed the maximum legal dimension and weight
limitations in a disaster area without a written permit.
(b) For the purpose of this provision, an
emergency shall include floods, fire, earthquakes, tsunami and other disasters
which cause or threaten loss of life or destruction or damage to property of
such magnitude as to seriously endanger the public health, safety, and welfare,
or which causes or threatens destruction or major damages to the highway
system. Economic factors such as the savings of time or expense in moving over
the highway are never considered emergencies.
(c) Requests for emergency moves shall be
considered carefully by the district engineer and permitted only where it is
absolutely clear that an emergency endangering human lives, health, safety,
welfare or property actually exists.
(d) Emergency moves may be authorized when
disaster is apparent; during the disaster period; and in the initial stages of
recovery. Following the emergency, when immediate threat to life or property is
terminated, the vehicles, vehicle combinations, or loads must be moved from the
disaster area under permit authority.
(e) Pertinent details of emergency moves
shall be recorded by memorandum and filed.
