Wis. Admin. Code Department of Transportation § Trans 260.16 - Single trip 16 foot wide mobile home and modular building sections

(1) On routes other than on state trunk highways, a permit for a 16 foot wide mobile home or modular building section may be issued only upon presentation of written approval from the authority maintaining the highway, or oral approval in the form of a telephone call from the authority maintaining the highway to the department.

(2) When transporting a 16 foot wide mobile home, the power unit shall be stopped when necessary by the driver to allow traffic to pass from either direction without delay.

(3) The wheels of a 16 foot wide mobile home or undercarriage shall be operated as close to the right edge of the shoulder as possible in order to provide minimum interference with the left lane of traffic. However, to minimize damage to the shoulder in the area immediately adjacent to the pavement, the right wheels may not be operated on the shoulder within 2 feet of the edge of the pavement except to cross this area.

(4) The maximum speed of a 16 foot wide mobile home or modular building section operating on highways without paved shoulders shall be 35 miles per hour.

(5) In addition to the amber flashing or revolving lamps specified in s. Trans 260.10(2), each 16 foot wide mobile home or modular building section shall be equipped with a similar lamp visible from the front of the vehicle when operated on 2-way roadways.

(6) A permittee shall certify, and may be required to present satisfactory written evidence, that the amount of insurance coverage given in s. Trans 260.14(6) (b), or a bond in a form satisfactory to the issuing authority, will be in effect for the vehicle and load designated in the permit while operating on the public highway, unless this requirement is expressly waived by the issuing authority.
