Vehicles: Terminal Island Freeway: special permits.

Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation, upon adoption of an ordinance or resolution by both the City of Long Beach and the City of Los Angeles, to issue a special permit to the operator of a vehicle, combination of vehicles, or mobile equipment, permitting the operation and movement of the vehicle, combination, or equipment, and its load, on the 3.66-mile portion of State Route 47 and State Route 103 known as the Terminal Island Freeway, between Willow Street in the City of Long Beach and Terminal Island in the City of Long Beach and the City of Los Angeles, and on the 2.1-mile portion of State Highway Route 1 that is between Blinn Avenue in the City of Los Angeles and Harbor Avenue in the City of Long Beach if the vehicle, combination, or equipment meets specified criteria. This bill would additionally authorize the Department of Transportation to issue such a special permit to the operator of a vehicle, combination of vehicles, or mobile equipment, permitting the operation and movement of the vehicle, combination, or equipment, and its load, on designated routes if the vehicle, combination, or equipment meets specified criteria, upon adoption of such an ordinance or resolution by the City of Carson covering designated routes. The bill would authorize the department to charge a fee to cover the cost of issuing the special permit. The bill would also state the intent of the Legislature that an ordinance or resolution of the City of Carson be adopted to conform with these provisions.
