For a truck with an overweight permit issued by the state highway patrol, Sioux Falls’ code removes the need for a separate city overweight permit. The carrier must still use primary truck routes where possible, then secondary routes if no primary route is possible, and other streets only when no truck route reaches the destination. Check size and clearance separately.
Overweight exemption is specific
A state Highway Patrol overweight permit removes the separate city overweight-permit requirement under the cited provision.
Size and clearance remain separate
That overweight provision is not blanket oversize or clearance approval for the home load.
What the state overweight permit changes
The Sioux Falls overweight-permit provision, section 79.022(b), concerns the need for a city overweight permit. It also sets the route hierarchy. The Sioux Falls vehicle size and weight provision addresses compliance with size and load requirements, so the overweight provision should not be treated as blanket oversize clearance.
Ask the carrier to explain the city-street route
Provide the home’s loaded dimensions, weight information and exact delivery address. Ask which permit provisions apply and why the final street connection fits the city’s truck-route rules.
- Start route planning with the primary truck network.
- If a primary route is not possible, evaluate the secondary network.
- Use other streets only under the code’s destination-access condition.
Have the carrier resolve the actual road connection and applicable permit conditions for this load. A state overweight document alone does not show whether the home fits beneath an obstruction or around the destination turn.
