Erie County Engineer's OfficeHighway Permit
The Erie County Engineer's Office issues highway permits for overweight and oversize loads traveling on both county and township roadways.
|
| • | for overweight, over-height, and over-width vehicles and loads. |
| • | for vehicles and loads that exceed posted weight limits. |
| • | for vehicles and loads that exceed the legal limits of the Ohio Revised |
| Code or the established and posted load limits on local roads. |
| Permits do not allow the state legal load limit for the vehicle |
| to be exceeded. |
A highway permit is needed from the Engineer's Office whether you will be hauling on county roads or on township roads. Only a permit from the Engineer's Office grants permission to exceed county and township load and dimension limits.
A permit from the Ohio state Highway Patrol or the Ohio Department of Transportation does not give permission to exceed load and dimension limits on county, township, and city roads and streets.
Anyone planning to transport overweight or oversize loads on roadways
(other than State Routes and the Ohio Turnpike) within Erie County should be aware that the
Ohio Revised Code Section 4513.34 requires that all vehicles that exceed maximum legal
dimensions and weights are required to obtain written permission from the governmental jurisdiction
(county, city, township) who has authority over the travel route/road. Without this written
authorization from the appropriate jurisdiction, oversize
and overweight vehicles may
NOT travel on their roadways.
The Erie County Engineer's Office (Erie County Highway Department) issues Highway Permits
for overweight and/or oversize loads traveling on roadways maintained by their office. Highway
Permits granting authorization for overweight and/or oversize loads to travel various Township
roads are also issued by the Erie County Engineer's Office. The Erie County Engineer's Office
works closely with the Townships regarding the issuance of the Highway Permits.
