Rhode Island H7381 authorizes a blanket permit and fee for self-propelled cranes exceeding size and weight limits to move on state highways.

Rhode Island H7381 amends the state's size, weight, and load limits to authorize the Department of Transportation to issue a blanket permit for self-propelled cranes that exceed size and weight requirements. The permit allows for movement on state highways, with specific restrictions on travel times and locations. A fee of $400 exempts permit holders from single trip permit fees. The permit is valid for one year and allows movement 24/7 without escort. Travel is subject to weather and road conditions, and certain bridges are off-limits.
