Section 35790 Of Article 6. Permits And Agreements From California Vehicle Code >> Division 15. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 6.
35790
. (a) The Department of Transportation or local authorities
with respect to highways under their respective jurisdictions may,
upon application in writing and if good cause appears, issue a
special or annual permit in writing authorizing the applicant to move
any manufactured home in excess of the maximum width but not
exceeding 14 feet in total width, exclusive of lights and devices
provided for in Sections 35109 and 35110, upon any highway under the
jurisdiction of the party granting the permit.
(b) A public agency, in the exercise of its discretion in granting
permits for the movement of overwidth manufactured homes, and in
considering the individual circumstances of each case, may use
merchandising or relocation of residence as a basis for movement for
good cause.
(c) (1) The application for a special permit shall specifically
describe the manufactured home to be moved and the particular
highways over which the permit to operate is requested.
(2) The application for an annual permit shall specifically
describe the power unit to be used to tow the overwidth manufactured
homes and the particular highways over which the permit to operate is
requested. The annual permit shall be subject to all of the
conditions of this section and any additional conditions imposed by
the public agency.
(d) The Department of Transportation or local authority may
establish seasonal or other time limitations within which a
manufactured home may be moved on the highways indicated, and may
require an undertaking or other security as it deems necessary to
protect the highways and bridges from injury or to provide indemnity
for any injury resulting from the operation.
(e) Permits for the movement of manufactured homes under this
section shall not be issued except to transporters or licensed
manufacturers and dealers and only under the following conditions:
(1) The manufactured home for which the permit is issued shall
comply with Sections 35550 and 35551.
(2) In the case of a permit issued on an individual or repetitive
trip basis, the applicant has first received the approval of a city
or county if the trip will include movement on streets or highways
under the jurisdiction of the city or county. The application for
such a permit shall indicate the complete route of the proposed move
and shall specify all cities and counties that have approved the
move. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Department
of Transportation to verify the information provided by an applicant
with respect to movement on streets or highways under local
jurisdiction.
(3) It is a violation of any permit, which is issued by the
Department of Transportation and authorizes a move only on a state
highway, for that move to be extended to a street or highway under
the jurisdiction of a city or county unless the move has been
approved by the city or county.
(f) The Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the
Department of the California Highway Patrol, or the local authority
may establish additional reasonable permit regulations as they may
deem necessary in the interest of public safety, which regulations
shall be consistent with this section.
(g) Every permit, the consent form or forms as required by Section
18099.5 of the Health and Safety Code, and a copy of the tax
clearance certificate, certificate of origin, or dealer's notice of
transfer, when the certificate or notice is required to be issued,
shall be carried in the manufactured home or power unit to which it
refers and shall be open to inspection by any peace officer or
traffic officer, any authorized agent of the Department of
Transportation, or any other officer or employee charged with the
care and protection of the highways.
(h) It is unlawful for any person to violate any of the terms or
conditions of any permit.
