(A) The Traffic Engineer may, at his discretion, upon the application in writing and good cause being shown, issue a special permit in writing authorizing the applicant to operate or move a vehicle or load, on any street other than Interstate highways, of a size or weight exceeding the maximum specified in state statute. If such vehicle is solely on Interstate highways within the city, such vehicle shall only need an appropriate permit from the state. A permit may be granted for the transportation of loads on a certain unit or combination of equipment during a period of time specified therein not to exceed one year, and the permit shall contain the route or routes to be traversed, that type of load or loads to be transported, and any other restrictions or conditions deemed necessary.
(B) In every other case, such permit may be issued for a single trip and shall designate the route to be traversed and the time such movement can be made so that it will not interfere with normal traffic movement and such other restrictions or conditions deemed necessary. Every such permit shall be carried in the vehicle to which it refers and shall be open to inspection by any police officer. Every such vehicle or load shall be escorted if required by the Chief of Police.
(C) The applicant shall be responsible for any damage to public or private property incurred as a result of such movement.
