(2) Notwithstanding Ohio R.C. 715.22 and 723.01, and Section 339.02 of the Codified Ordinances, the holder of a special permit issued by the Director of Transportation under Ohio R.C. 4513.34 may move the vehicle or combination of vehicles described in the special permit on any highway that is a part of the State highway system when the movement is partly within and partly without the corporate limits of the Village.

In addition, the Village, as a condition of issuance of an overweight permit, may require the applicant to develop and enter into a mutual agreement with the Village to compensate for or to repair excess damage caused to the roadway by travel under the permit.
(5) Every permit shall be carried in the vehicle or combination of vehicles to which it refers and shall be open to inspection by any police officer or authorized agent of any authority granting the permit. No person shall violate any of the terms of a permit.
(b) Whoever violates division (a) of this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
