The Traffic Engineer may issue a permit to any person to operate a vehicle or move a load on any street of a size or weight exceeding the maximum specified in the state statute for a route and under conditions he specifies; such conditions including but not limited to the requirement of a security bond to cover possible minor damage to the roadway, to cover water sewer equipment, connections, etc., or to private property; provided, however, the Traffic Engineer in his discretion may refuse a permit if, due to the size or weight of the vehicle or load, it seems relatively certain to him that damage will occur and such damage cannot be adequately estimated for bond purposes, or that such damage shall be so extensive that no security bond would be adequate to compensate for the cost, time, inconvenience or hazards involved, or that the movement of such a vehicle or load of such size or weight would be unduly hazardous to motorists or other persons in the area of such movement.
