Definitions. The following words and terms, when used
in this section, shall have the following meanings, unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise.
As defined in the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, Title
75, Vehicles, 1976 Edition, as revised on 3-1-1983 for Motor Homes,
Paragraph 1913, and for Trucks and Truck Tractors, Paragraph 1916.
Maintenance or restoration or both (but not betterment) of
a posted highway in excess of normal maintenance, caused by use of
over-posted-weight vehicles.
The following shall be regarded as local traffic for the purposes of Subsection D of this section (relating to local traffic):
Emergency vehicles;
School buses;
Vehicles and combinations of government agencies
and utilities or their contractors engaged in construction or maintenance
on a posted highway or in a location which can be reached only via
a posted highway; and
Vehicles and combinations going to or coming
from a residence, commercial establishment or farm located on a posted
highway or which can be reached only via a posted highway.
The usual and typical activities necessary to maintain the roadway, shoulders and drainage facilities in the state of repair existing at the date of the inspection prescribed in Subsection E(6)(a) of this section (relating to use under permit).
A vehicle or combination having a gross weight in excess
of a posted weight limit or a vehicle or combination having a registered
gross or combination weight in excess of the applicable gross or combination
weight established for a particular posted class limit of vehicle.

[1]The Township of Lower Saucon for Township roads, and the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for state highways, and
the County of Northampton for County bridges.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa.C.S.A § 4902.
D.
Local traffic.
(1)
General rule. Overposted-weight/class local traffic
may exceed posted weight/class limits, unless the posting authority
determines that an overposted-weight/class vehicle or vehicles being
driven to or from a particular destination or destinations are likely
to damage the highway.
(2)
Vehicles determined likely to damage highway. If the posting authority determines that one or more overposted-weight/class vehicles are likely to damage the highway, the posting authority will so notify the registrants of the overposted-weight/class vehicles or owners of the destination or destinations or both and will also notify state and local police. After two business days following delivery of the notice or after five days following mailing of the notice, such overposted-weight vehicles shall not exceed the posted weight/class limits, except in accordance with the provisions of Subsection E of this section (relating to use under permit).
(3)
Proof of local traffic status. The following types
of documents will constitute evidence that a vehicle is local traffic:
E.
Use of permits.
(1)
General rule. No overposted-weight/class vehicle, except local traffic authorized under Subsection D of this section (relating to local traffic), shall be driven on a posted highway with a gross weight or registered class in excess of the posted weight/class limit, unless the posting authority has issued a permit for the vehicle or vehicles in accordance with this section.
(2)
Types of permits. Types of permits shall include the
following:
(a)
A Type 1 permit authorizes use of a particular
posted highway or portion thereof by an overposted-weight/class vehicle.
It is valid only when carried in the overposted-weight vehicle.
(b)
A Type 2 permit authorizes use of a particular
posted highway or portion thereof by any number of overposted-weight/class
vehicles being driven to or from a common destination.
[1]
Documents of the type set forth in Subsection D(3) of this section (relating to local traffic) will constitute evidence of a vehicle's destination.
[2]
A Type 2 permit will be issued only upon request
of the permittee and if the posting authority determines that it is
not feasible to issue a Type 1 permit for each vehicle. For example,
most overposted-weight/class vehicles hauling to and from the place
of business of the permittee belong to or are hauling under contract
with customers or suppliers of the permittee.
(c)
A Type 3 permit authorizes use of a number of
specified posted highways or portions thereof by an overposted-weight/class
vehicle.
[1]
A Type 3 permit is valid only when carried in
the overposted-weight/class vehicle.
[2]
A Type 3 permit is issued only if the posting
authority determines that damage to the posted highway covered by
the permit will be minimal because of the limited number of moves
by overposted-weight/class vehicles and short-term use of the highways
anticipated by the permittee.
(3)
Excess maintenance agreement. Issuance of a permit
to exceed a posted weight/class limit or limits will be conditioned
on the agreement by the permittee to accept financial responsibility
for excess maintenance of the posted highway or portion thereof to
be used by the permittee. The agreement may provide for the work to
be performed by the posting authority or its contractor or by the
permittee or its contractor at the discretion of the posting authority.
(4)
Security. Except as provided in Subsection E(4)(d) of this section, the permittee shall be required to provide security in favor of the posting authority to assure compliance with the maintenance-reconstruction agreement.
(a)
Amount of security. The amount of security shall
be as follows:
[1]
Type 1 and Type 2 permits. Type 1 and Type 2
permits shall include:
[a]
Six thousand dollars per linear
mile for unpaved highways to be maintained at a level consistent with
the type of highway.
[b]
Twelve thousand dollars per linear
mile for paved highways to be maintained at a level consistent with
the type of highway.
[c]
Fifty thousand dollars per linear
mile for any highway which the posting authority allows to be maintained
below a level consistent with the type of highway.
[2]
Type 3 permits shall include $10,000 for each
county or municipality covered by the permit.
[3]
Schedule of bonding amounts. The posting authority
will, from time to time but not more often than annually, publish
a revised schedule of bonding amounts based on increased or decreased
maintenance costs.
(b)
Form of security. The security may be in the
form of a performance bond with surety by a company authorized to
do business in the commonwealth; or, at the option of the permittee,
in the form of a certified or cashier's check, bank account or irrevocable
letter of credit in favor of the posting authority; or in some other
form of security acceptable to the posting authority.
(c)
Additional security. When the amount of damage
in excess of normal maintenance to a posted highway is estimated by
the posting authority to constitute 75% or more of the amount of the
security, the posting authority may require the highway to be maintained
or reconstructed within 30 days, unless the permittee agrees to provide
such additional security as the posting authority shall determine.
(d)
Self bonding. The posting authority may authorize
self bonding if it determines, on the basis of the financial ability
of the permittee, that it is unlikely that the posting authority will
be unable to collect a judgment rendered against the permittee for
failure to comply with the maintenance agreement.
[1]
The posting authority may require corporate
officers and stockholders and their spouses to execute a self bond
if the financial ability of a corporation is insufficient in itself
to justify self bonding.
[2]
The posting authority may require the permittee
to execute liens on real or personal property, or both, as a condition
for authorizing self bonding.
[3]
To be considered for self bonding by the posting
authority, a permittee shall file Contractor's Financial Statement,
Department Form CS 4300, Part 1. The financial statement shall be
updated annually and within 30 days of any posting authority request
for an update.
(5)
Multiple permittees. Multiple permittees shall conform
with the following:
(a)
Agreement to share excess maintenance responsibility.
If two or more persons wish to obtain Type 1 or Type 2 permits to
operate overposted-weight/class vehicles on the same posted highway
or portion thereof, they may agree among themselves as to their relative
responsibility for the cost of excess maintenance, and the posting
authority will enter into agreements and accept security on the basis
of the agreed shares.
(b)
Determination by posting authority. If multiple
applicants for Type 1 or Type 2 permits cannot agree on their relative
responsibility, the posting authority will determine their relative
shares and will enter into agreement with and accept security from
any person agreeing to such determination.
(c)
Subsequent permit applicants. Subsection E(5)(a) and (b) of this section shall apply even if one or more persons have already entered into a Type 1 or Type 2 permit agreement and posted security when another person expresses the desire to obtain a Type 1 or Type 2 permit to operate overposted-weight/class vehicles on the same posted highway.
(6)
Determination of highway condition. Determination
of highway condition shall consist of the following:
(a)
Inspection. Representatives of the posting authority
and of the permittee or permittees will make an on-site inspection
of the posted highway immediately before issuance of each permit to
determine its condition.
(b)
Reinspection. The posted highway will be reinspected:
(c)
Type 3 permits. Before and after using a Type
3 permit on any posted highway specified in the permit, the representatives
of the permittee and the posting authority will make an on-site inspection
to determine the relative condition of the highway before and after
the use and to assess any excess maintenance caused by the permittee.
(d)
Notification of inspections and reinspections.
All Type 1 and Type 2 permittees on a posted highway or portion thereof
will be notified of all inspections and reinspections on the highway
or portion and may participate in the inspections and reinspections.
(e)
Inspection costs. The inspection costs of the
posting authority shall be paid by the permittee or permittees. Inspection
costs related to a county-wide or municipality-wide Type 3 permit
will be paid solely by the Type 3 permittee.
(7)
Administrative fee. The department will charge an
administrative fee as set from time to time by resolution or ordinance,
as may be required by law, for issuance of each Type 3 permit for
state roads. The posting authority shall charge an administrative
fee as set from time to time by resolution or ordinance, as may be
required by law, for issuance of each permit.[2]
[2]
Editor's Note: The current Fee Schedule is
available at the Town Hall.
F.
Posted roads and bridges. The Council of Lower Saucon
Township has determined and does hereby determine that the following
roads or bridges under the jurisdiction of the Township may be damaged
or destroyed unless the permissible weight or class of motor vehicles
or combinations is reduced to the weight/class limits listed. It shall
be unlawful for any person to operate any motor vehicle or other tractor,

of that therein respectively prescribed, upon any of the following
highways or portions thereof; excluded are Fire Department vehicles

H.
Erection of signs. The Township shall erect or cause
to be erected and maintained restriction signs designating the restrictions
at each end of a bridge or portion of road restricted as provided
in this section. In the case of a restriction on a bridge or on a
road which does not begin or end at an intersection with an unrestricted
road, the Township shall also place an advance informational sign
at the intersection nearest each end of the restricted bridge or portion
of road, which would allow drivers to avoid the restricted bridge
or portion of road. No person shall be convicted of violating any
portion of this section unless the restriction sign designating the
restricted bridge or portion of road to traffic moving in the direction
the person was driving was posted as required in this subsection.
However, failure to post the restriction sign designating the restricted
bridge or portion of road to traffic moving in the opposite direction
or failure to post any advance informational sign shall not constitute
a defense to a violation of this subsection.
I.
Violations and penalties. Any person operating a motor
vehicle or combination upon a road or bridge in violation of this
section is guilty of a summary offense and shall, upon conviction,
be sentenced to pay a fine of $75, except that any person convicted
of operating a vehicle with a gross weight or class in excess of a
posted weight/class shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a
fine of $150, plus $150 for each 500 pounds or part thereof in excess
of 3,000 pounds over the maximum allowable weight or pay a fine of
$150, plus $1,000 for every class category for the vehicle in excess
of one class above the class limit established for the road.
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate
any vehicle or tractor upon any highway in the Township that is under
construction, resurfacing or repair in disregard of any official sign,
barricade or notice that the same is closed to vehicular traffic.
At the following intersections, official traffic
signs shall be erected (or if heretofore erected are hereby ratified),
and traffic at such intersections as directed shall be prohibited
from making left-hand turns:
