         (b)   For each highway in division (A)(1)(a) above, the time period in each calendar year when the weight restrictions shall be in effect shall begin on the day on which a sign designating the provisions of these regulations is erected or caused to be erected by the County Highway Superintendent at each end of that portion of the highway affected hereby, and the restrictions shall remain in effect until the Superintendent removes the signs. The Superintendent is hereby authorized, upon inspection of the highway in question, to cause the signs to be removed and re-erected on one or more occasions in any calendar year, thus reimposing the weight limit on the highway in question any number of times so long as the total days in which the weight restrictions are in effect in any calendar year does not exceed 90 days.
         (c)   These regulations shall not apply to the following:
            1.   School buses;
            2.   Vehicles belonging to or employed by the County Highway Department;
            3.   Fire trucks, ambulances or other emergency vehicles;
            4.   Grain and bean separators, combines, corn pickers, ensilage cutters, corn shellers, corn shredders, hay rakers, manure spreaders, portable saw mills, well drilling machinery and all seeding, cultivating and harvesting equipment; and
            5.   Vehicles designed for and being used for the transportation of:
               a.   Harvested crops or livestock;
               b.   Plant food materials or agricultural chemicals; or
               c.   Farm machinery.
         (d)   Every natural person, corporation, partnership, firm, company or other entity which operates or proposes to operate a vehicle of a gross weight of 20,000 pounds, except for those described in division (A)(1)(c) above, or more upon any of the highways described in division (A)(1)(a) above in any calendar year shall, prior to the operation of any vehicle on any of the highways in any calendar year, register the vehicle at the office of the County Highway Department at Derby, Indiana. It shall be unlawful to operate any vehicle on any of these highways without a valid county registration certificate. The County Highway Department shall maintain suitable forms for the application and issuance of the registration certificates. No fee shall be charged for the registration. Each registration shall expire one year from the date of issuance, and must be renewed if the operator continues to operate any vehicle on any of the highways in division (A)(1)(a) above.
         (e)   1.   Every natural person, corporation, partnership, firm, company or other entity which operates or proposes to operate a vehicle of a gross weight of 20,000 pounds or more, except for those described in division (A)(1)(c) above, upon any of the highways described in division (A)(1)(a) above in any calendar year shall, prior to the operation of any vehicle on any of these highways in any calendar year, apply for and obtain a permit from the office of the County Highway Department at Derby, Indiana. The application for the permit shall describe the vehicle or vehicles for which the permit is sought, and the portions of the county highway or highways over which the vehicle or vehicles will travel. The Superintendent of the County Highway Department is hereby delegated and granted authority to grant or deny the permit, in whole or in part, in his or her discretion, taking into account the nature and frequency of the hauling, the location, the condition of the portions of highway or highways over which the permit is sought and the probable effects of hauling on the highway portions. Each permit granted shall expire at a time that the Superintendent shall, in his or her discretion, determine. A permit holder may apply for a new or extended permit to be effective upon expiration of any permit.
            2.   Any unsuccessful applicant for a permit may appeal the denial thereof to the County Board of Commissioners, who shall decide if the requested permit should be granted, using the same criteria used by the Superintendent and set forth hereinabove.
            3.   It shall be unlawful to operate any vehicle on any county highway without a valid permit. The County Highway Department shall maintain suitable forms for the application and issuance of the permits. No fee shall be charged for any application or permit.
            4.   The granting of a permit shall not enable the holder thereof to operate the permitted vehicle or vehicles on any county highway in violation of division (A)(1) above.
      (2)   Maximum weight limits on county roads.
