Any person desiring to drive, move, operate or be in the actual physical
control of a motor vehicle, semitrailer, trailer or equipment in excess
of 26,000 pounds over and upon any highway under the jurisdiction
of and within the physical boundaries of the Township of Shaler, prior
to driving, moving, operating or being in the actual physical control
of any motor vehicle, semitrailer, trailer or equipment in excess
of 26,000 pounds upon any Township highway, shall apply in writing,
showing good cause, to the Township Engineer of Shaler, or his appointee
in his absence, who shall inspect, together with such person, all
Township highways over which travel is desired. Under conditions and
circumstances when, in the opinion of the Township Engineer, any Township
street, road or bridge would not, by reason of deterioration, rain,
snow or other climactic conditions, be seriously damaged or destroyed,
he may issue or may cause to be issued a special hauling permit, setting
forth the maximum gross weight permitted, upon a form prepared by
the Township.
