Martinez Municipal Code Ch. 10.64 Heavy Vehicles and Equipment

A. No person shall move or operate upon any of the City streets any vehicle with a load or size in excess of those permitted by the Vehicle Code without a written permit from the City Traffic Engineer.

B. The City Traffic Engineer may, by written permit, authorize a load or size in excess of those allowed for in the Vehicle Code, if, in his judgment, the streets upon which such vehicle is to be operated can safely accommodate the additional size or weight, or if the applicant will guarantee to the City that all costs of any alterations or repair to the streets or to the public property of the City caused by the movement of such load or loads will be paid in full. Such permit shall be granted upon such conditions and upon depositing such bond as the City Traffic Engineer in his discretion may require.
