(b) Standard permits. This permit allows for
single-trip movements in those circumstances where another permit is not

multiple-trip or single-trip basis if implementation of another type of permit
is not appropriate.

standard permit shall be good for a period of seven days.
(3) Standard permits shall be issued only
from point of origin to final destination on routes designated by the
secretary.
(4) Movers of oversize
or overweight loads may make multiple trips, provided that the mover uses the
same route and hauls similar loads, trips can be made within the original
period of validity, and the information on the standard permit does not change.
(c) Superload permits.
These permits shall allow movement of overweight loads that exceed 150,000
pounds of gross weight.
(1) Movers of
superloads shall pay for all damages caused by the movement of the superload.
(2) Movers of superloads shall
have a valid superload permit that includes a bridge analysis, which must be
completed by the department before traveling on any highway within Kansas.
(3) Superload permits shall be
issued only for single-trip movements.
(4) Before escorting superloads within
Kansas, escorting companies shall obtain certification in a manner approved by
the secretary.

that exceed the size limitations of the standard permit.

movers of large structures shall reduce the use of state highways to a minimum.
Movers of large structures shall contact all appropriate departmental personnel

traveling on the applicable section of the interstate.

removing or relocating signs, hazard markers, or other property of the

with regard to the movement of the large structure, the time of day, date, and
the routes to be used shall be approved by a departmental employee of the
district in whose area the load travels or by an appointed representative.
(9) An escort vehicle shall be
stationed at side road intersections during the movement of large structures in
order to hold all vehicles at those intersections until the structure has been
moved through the section of road being blocked.
(10) Drivers of escorting vehicles shall not

has been stopped at both sides of bridges or before and after a critical
location.
