(A) The Mayor or his designee may issue a temporary permit, free of charge, to the operator of any vehicle exceeding the limit established in division (A) of this section, upon a finding that the vehicle’s destination is accessible only via the restricted roads and that it is essential for that vehicle to reach that destination.
