No vehicle, except a vehicle loaded with loose hay or straw, whose height, with its load, exceeds thirteen feet six inches, shall be operated upon any highway or bridge without a special written permit from the Commissioner of Transportation as provided in section
14-270, specifying the period for which and the other conditions under which such vehicle shall be permitted to be so operated. Violation of the provision of this section shall be subject to a fine of one thousand five hundred dollars.
(1949 Rev., S. 2501; 1967, P.A. 153, S. 1; 1969, P.A. 354, S. 3; 768, S. 146; P.A. 75-577, S. 104, 126; P.A. 99-181, S. 22, 40.)
History: 1967 act increased maximum height from 12 feet 6 inches to 13 feet 6 inches; 1969 acts deleted “commercial” with reference to vehicles, thus broadening applicability, added reference to Sec. 14-270 and replaced highway commissioner with commissioner of transportation; P.A. 75-577 replaced provision for maximum fine of $25 with statement that violation of provisions is an infraction; P.A. 99-181 changed penalty for violation from an infraction to a fine of $1,500, effective June 23, 1999.
Violation constitutes negligence but to constitute contributory negligence it must be a proximate cause or substantial factor in bringing about the injuries. 145 C. 714.
