A. 
Permits for single trip movements are issued for one-way movement. These permits are valid for seven calendar days with the restrictions described in Subsection B of this section.
[Ord. No. 2004-110]
B. 
Unless stated otherwise on the permit:
(1) 
Permit movements may be made only from a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset on weekdays and from a half hour before sunrise to noon on Saturday;
(2) 
Permit movements are prohibited on Sunday and on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
(3) 
Extended Term Permit moves shall be allowed to move with no time restrictions.
[Ord. No. 2004-5]
A. 
Permits for round trip moves may be issued provided:
(1) 
The same or "like" object is to be moved in both directions,
(2) 
The same vehicle is to be utilized.
(3) 
The same route is to be traveled in the reverse direction.
B. 
A description, including make and model, of the equipment being transported must be furnished to the Public Works Department.
C. 
Applications for round trip moves will be the same as for a single trip move, except the words "and return" may be added. Round trip permits over a circular or roundabout route will not routinely be issued. For example, when a routing on a divided highway is adequate for the size or weight in one direction, but due to a lower clearance or a deficiency in a structure in the opposite direction, it is necessary to route the movement over different highways on the return trip. A single trip permit will not be revised to include "round trip" after the permit has been issued. Round trip permits are subject to the restrictions contained in § 29-2711B except such permits are valid for a period of 10 calendar days and one round trip move.
[Ord. No. 2018-93]

Supplemental permits may be issued by the Public Works Department to extend, revise, or correct permits that are still valid. Documents authorizing corrections, extensions, and revisions must accompany the original permit and be presented upon request to any police officer or authorized employee of the City.
[Ord. No. 2004-5]
Permits are issued insofar as practical in conformance with data contained in an application. Errors in the application, in the permit, or in the transmission of a permit must be corrected before the move. The Permittee must check the permit upon receipt or before starting a move. If upon checking a permit the permittee finds that the permit does not cover the move, that it is incorrect, or that it is otherwise in error, he must contact the Public Works Department for correction. The issuance of any supplemental permits will be held to a minimum.
