Special towing permits; conditions; route designation
Sec. 10. (a) Instead of complying with the requirements of section
9 of this chapter, a special towing permit allowing the operation of
a combination of vehicles on a highway in Indiana may be granted by
the Indiana department of transportation or local authorities having
jurisdiction over a highway or street and responsible for the repair
and maintenance of the highway or street.
(b) A permit may be granted under this section upon good cause
shown if the Indiana department of transportation or local authority
finds the public interest will be served, considering public safety and
the protection of public and private property.
(c) A permit issued under this section may designate the route to
be traversed by the combination of vehicles and may contain other
restrictions or conditions considered necessary by the Indiana
department of transportation or local authority granting the permit.
(d) The Indiana department of transportation may allow a vehicle
or load permitted in accordance with IC 9-20-6-2 to tow a light
passenger vehicle with a manufacturer designed seating capacity of
not more than ten (10) passengers including the driver. However, the
light passenger vehicle may not cause the combination to exceed the
maximum allowable size and weight limitations set forth in IC 9-20-4
and IC 9-20-9.
